SIA expands international flight routes

SIA will launch new routes to several destinations in Europe, Australia and New Zealand this year to expand its long-haul international flight network. SIA regional VP for Southeast Asia, Philip Goh, said the airline would launch its first long-haul flight to Amsterdam May 9, using its new Airbus A350-900 fleet. The planes will also be deployed to destinations in Asia, including Jakarta. In July, the aircraft will be used to add services to Dusseldorf, Germany. The A350 for long-haul flights will have 253 passenger seats in three classes - 42 business class, 24 premium economy class and 187 economy class seats. SIA has 67 Airbus planes on order, including 7 ultra-long range variants that will be delivered in 2018 for non-stop services between Singapore and several destinations in the US. <br/>
