SilkAir to suspend flights to Hiroshima
SilkAir will suspend flights to Japan's Hiroshima on the back of weak demand, which has been made worse by the coronavirus outbreak. SilkAir said Tuesday that the last flight for MI867 will be from Hiroshima to Singapore on March 26. The flights will be suspended indefinitely. It said that it will contact all affected customers and arrange to accommodate them on other flights. SilkAir started flying the Singapore-Hiroshima route in October 2017. It had said then that the Japanese city was popular with Singaporeans because of its historical significance, good weather and proximity to various attractions in neighbouring cities. The move is the latest one by the Singapore Airlines Group to cut costs as it adjusts to plummeting demand due to the coronavirus outbreak.<br/>
