Singapore Airlines Group to operate at 7% of scheduled capacity in August

Singapore Airlines and its regional arm SilkAir will not be flying to new locations next month but will slightly increase the frequency of flights on existing routes as the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the aviation sector drags on. SIA said Friday that this means that the SIA Group - which also includes budget carrier Scoot - will operate at approximately 7% of its scheduled capacity in August, up from 6% this month. SIA is currently flying between Singapore and 27 cities in 18 countries spread across five regions - South-east Asia, North Asia, South-west Pacific, Europe and the United States. Among the sectors that will see more flights next month include the Singapore-London, Singapore-Kuala Lumpur and Singapore-Osaka routes. Customers who have had their flights cancelled by SIA and SilkAir will be able to either get a refund or flight credits with a bonus.<br/>
