SIA's Canberra flights draw few to the capital

SIA says it is encouraged by support for its Canberra flights despite its first full month garnering few visitors to Canberra. The federal govt's latest international flight data showed 6995 people travelled in and out of Canberra on SIA's Capital Express route in October. This translated to an average of about 145 passengers travelling to Canberra on each 266-seat Boeing 777-200 from Singapore and just 67 on the same sized plane from Wellington. The outbound figures were similarly low. An average of 65 passengers on each flight from Canberra to Wellington boarded in the capital while the Singapore route saw 111 Canberra outbound passengers. The Singapore flights were a slight improvement on September's numbers, when an average of 142 passengers from Singapore travelled to the capital. <br/>
