SIA, Scoot to operate more VTL flights to more destinations, including Phuket

There will be more vaccinated travel lane (VTL) flight options for travellers soon, in line with Singapore's move to resume reopening its borders. The Singapore Airlines Group said on Wednesday that it will expand its VTL network to 47 cities in 25 countries in the coming weeks. SIA will progressively add Dubai, Hong Kong, Manila, New York (Newark) and Phuket to its VTL network from next Friday. It will also increase its frequencies for flights between Singapore and several existing VTL destinations. They are Bandar Seri Begawan, Colombo, Male and Phnom Penh. An SIA spokesman said Singapore's VTL arrangements have helped to unlock pent-up demand for international air travel to and through Changi Airport. She said that the new VTL services and increased frequencies will give its customers more travel options and greater flexibility.<br/>
