Singapore Airlines going 4 times daily to London

Between 9 September and 21 October Singapore Airlines is lifting its capacity between Singapore and London to four flights a day each way, three in A380s and a fourth in a 777-300ER.

That is the same number of flights Qantas is entitled to under its current air traffic agreement, but has cut back to two A380s daily, one each originating in Melbourne and Sydney, plus hand offs to BA connections in Bangkok and Hong Kong.

On the current timetable, which may change by that time, Singapore Airlines may be operating three A380s daily from Australia to Singapore. The word ‘may’ is getting a work out because as regulars have often complained in forums, its A380 arrangements out of Sydney had been prone to ‘equipment changes’ at different times earlier this year, making it sometimes uncertain as to exactly what it was offering, as sometimes the alternative wasn’t the 777-300ER, but other jets without the top notch business class and other amenities on its biggest Airbus and biggest Boeing.

The change however will give Australian travellers even more reasons to choose to fly all the way to Europe and the UK on Singapore Airlines, which also operates A380s to Paris, Frankfurt and Zurich, and supports its European network with additional 777-300ERs.

It also underlines a problem common to Qantas and Virgin Australia’s less frequent flights that connect with onward Etihad services at Abu Dhabi, and that is, a single carrier service is always more convenient.

It is a big problem for Qantas customers. There is a relationship between loyalty and frequency of service, and if it can’t sell what people want in terms of flying to London, then it can’t expect to be taken seriously when it complains about a lack of support by Australians.

Unless you have the seats to sell, whinging about successful competitors to London is pointless. Singapore Airlines is pickling up the golden opportunity offered to it by the little Qantas policy, in which the airline’s management reduces risk and costs by reducing flying.

^yEAH lol. Btw how is SQ doing since Gulf carriers developed? are they being affected? I think their profits are down...

Eh shouldnt be by that much. In some aspect Singapore Airline is better than Emirates, notably the fact that Changi airport is much superior to one in Dubai.

My friends who had travelled with both Singapore Airlines and Emirates found that each airlines had their own strength and weakness. One airline's strength is other's weakness.....

I think they are okay.. Btw if Belgrade ever remained strong as in 1980s, I wonder if they would consider it? We had Qantas during those days.

Any chance Scoot fly to Seoul in the future?

Cheaper fare to Singapore would be nice. More option as well.

China Cargo codeshares with SIA Cargo
(WCARN.com, July 12)

Recently, China Cargo Airlines Limited and Singapore Airlines Cargo signed a codeshare agreement on freight services between Shanghai and Singapore, which greatly enhances both parties' competitiveness on that route.

"The codeshare partnership enables Singapore Cargo to better take part in Chinese cargo market. Meanwhile, it will provide customers with more flexible and high-quality services; the unified interface for ordering cabin space offers more choices for customers." said the SIA Cargo president Chen Kaiping.
