SIA begins nonstop Singapore-San Francisco services

SIA launched daily Singapore Changi-San Francisco Airbus A350 XWB services Oct 23, its longest nonstop flights within the Star Alliance member network. The aircraft deployed for the inaugural flight is the sixth recently delivered A350-900 for SIA, out of a total order of 67 aircraft. “Passengers [are] asking for nonstop services to the US,” SIA CE Goh Choon Phong said. SIA also has 7 Rolls-Royce-powered A350 ultra-long-range aircraft on order (out of its 67-strong order book), which is scheduled to relaunch nonstop services from Singapore to New York-JFK and Los Angeles, starting in 2018. Other SIA services include 2X-daily Singapore-San Francisco, with the other flight operating via Hong Kong. It also serves 2X-daily Singapore-Los Angeles, with one flight via Seoul Incheon and one stop in Tokyo Narita. <br/>
