Firefly to suspend Singapore flights on airport move issues

Malaysian carrier Firefly will suspend all flights to Singapore from 1 December, over issues related to its move from the city state's Changi airport to Seletar airport. In a notice on its website, Firefly said it has had to suspend the flights "until the relevant authorities have cleared remaining matters in relation to the Singapore authority's plans to move turboprop operations from Changi to Seletar". "Firefly has not been provided any definitive timeline by the authorities for the delay. Upon final approval from the authorities, Firefly will then resume its flights into Singapore". The airline's announcement comes just days after Changi Airport Group (CAG) announced the commencement of operations at Seletar airport, which is dedicated to turboprop and business aviation. It had also said that all scheduled turboprop flights into Singapore will move from Changi to Seletar from 1 December.<br/>
