BENGALURU: The arrival of the first Airbus A350 aircraft at the city’s Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) from Singapore received a rousing welcome when it landed on Friday (May 17) night. Three “Follow Me” vehicles escorted the Singapore Airlines Flight SQ 502 to the airport gate after it landed at KIA at 9.50 pm.
The airlines, in turn, accorded a memorable welcome to the passengers on board the inaugural service of this spacious medium-haul aircraft. Among the freebies given to passengers were a first-to-fly certificate, an A350 aircraft model, a notebook, a pen, discount coupons on all duty-free items as well as a symbolic discount of Rs 350 offered on any item purchased within the airport premises.
