Singapore Airlines adds late-night flights from Darwin

Singapore Airlines (SIA) is adjusting flight times on its Darwin-Singapore service, adding late-night departures three days of the week. Starting in the upcoming northern summer season, commencing 30 March, the SQ254 service on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays will depart Darwin at 1:55am, arriving in Singapore at 5:10am local time, which the airline says will enable better connectivity. Passengers from Darwin will see layover times in Singapore dramatically decreased, some by more than 10 hours, removing the need to overnight at Changi Airport on a number of routes. “This new morning arrival into Singapore will increase connection options and reduce transit times for key destinations from DRW including Jakarta, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Manila, Ho Chi Minh City and Kathmandu,” the carrier said. “Additionally, this will allow connectivity to a greater number of European flight routes, including London Heathrow, Paris, and Frankfurt. With two departure options for these destinations across the week, customers can enjoy their choice of flight, with efficient connections for their onward journeys to Europe.”<br/>
