Singapore Airlines to fly 4 times daily to Brisbane

Singapore Airlines (SIA) will add an extra three weekly flights to Brisbane this year, restoring its pre-COVID capacity to the Queensland capital. The carrier will fly four times per day to Brisbane starting 16 June, increasing its weekly services from 25 to 28, following high demand particularly during recent peak seasons. The new services, SQ265/266, will operate on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday from Brisbane to Singapore using A350-900 medium-haul aircraft, leaving Singapore early in the morning and returning in the evening. “Travel demand has been strong as Brisbane continues to grow as a major gateway and Queensland gains significance as a global destination for business and leisure,” said SIA’s regional vice president South West Pacific, Louis Arul. “Singapore Airlines is pleased to offer more options for travellers to Singapore and connect to over 110 cities globally via Singapore Changi Airport.” Gert-Jan de Graaf, CEO of Brisbane Airport, has welcomed SIA’s move, which comes after the carrier last year brought forward its planned expansion to 25 flights per week from November to August.<br/>
