The regional wing of Singapore Airlines will begin flights to its eighth destination in China from June 27 this year.
Subject to applicable approvals, SilkAir will operate four flights a week between the two cities using Airbus A319 and A320 aircraft, featuring both business and economy class cabins.
Services are operated every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. Flights from Singapore will depart at 10.00 and arrive in Hangzhou at 15.20. From Hangzhou, flights will depart at 16.20 and touch down in Singapore at 21.25.
“(This) reaffirms SilkAir’s commitment to continue to grow (its) network in China. Hangzhou is a city that attracts both the leisure and business traveller and we believe that our new service will certainly benefit them,” said SilkAir chief executive, Leslie Thng.
The new Hangzhou services conveniently connect Singapore to more than 90 international cities in the joint Singapore Airlines–SilkAir network.
