Overwhelming demand for SIA Training Centre tours, bookings closed in 9 hours

Demand has been overwhelming for behind-the-scenes tours of the Singapore Airlines (SIA) Training Centre after bookings opened on Sunday, the national carrier said. More than 6,800 bookings were received and registrations were closed after nine hours due to "overwhelming demand", SIA said Sunday evening. Bookings opened at 10am on Sunday and closed at 7pm. Up to five people can be registered under one booking. Those who have secured a slot for the Inside Singapore Airlines tours will be able to tour the training facility in Upper Changi on one of four days over the last two weekends of November. There is a maximum capacity of 500 customers on each day. The tours are part of a trio of initiatives launched by SIA to engage its customers even as Covid-19 has sharply reduced the number of flights the national carrier can operate.<br/>
