The Singapore Airlines (SIA) Group will commemorate 20 years of service to Hyderabad this year. The airline began flying there on October 29, 2003.
To commemorate this historic milestone, SIA is pleased to announce that, as of October 29, 2023, it would increase its Hyderabad-Singapore service from seven to twelve times weekly when it takes over Scoot’s daily services between the two cities, subject to regulatory permissions.
Passengers traveling from Hyderabad to Singapore and beyond will have more connectivity options thanks to the new five times weekly morning trips. The Boeing 737-8 aircraft that SIA will use to run this service has 154 seats, 10 of which are in business class and 144 in economy. The SIA Airbus A350s, which have 303 seats total—40 in Business Class and 263 in Economy—will run the daily night services. As a result, SIA’s full-service offering will completely serve Hyderabad.
“As we celebrate 20 years of serving the Hyderabad market, we are delighted to announce an increase in our weekly operations to the city,” said Sy Yen Chen, Singapore Airlines’ general manager for India. The strategic reorganization of our Hyderabad network demonstrates our dedication to evolving and adapting to the changing needs of our devoted clients. This accomplishment confirms our commitment to the neighborhood market, and as we move forward into the future, we are eager to offer even better connectivity and amazing full-service travel experiences.
Additionally, the expansion of A350 operations on the Hyderabad-Singapore route provides SIA Cargo with more prospects. Due to the larger body of the aircraft, heavy freight shipments that need to be put onto skids can be lifted. Additionally, the aircraft’s ability to regulate temperature is necessary for some types of temperature-sensitive cargo.
The SIA Group’s capacity to adjust to shifting market conditions and offer its clients improved travel options, in line with its purpose to link people to international places, is best demonstrated by this reorganization.
With effect from October 29, 2023, Scoot will operate 44 weekly flights to and from six Indian cities (Amritsar, Chennai, Coimbatore, Thiruvananthapuram, Tiruchirappalli, and Visakhapatnam), while SIA will operate 96 weekly flights to and from eight Indian cities (Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kochi, Kolkata, and Mumbai).
