A bigger A350-900 aircraft to be deployed between Singapore and Bengaluru from May will allow Singapore Airlines to enhance its capacity by 14%, said David Lim, the airline’s India MD.
The airline is likely to replicate this move in Chennai next year when it marks 50 years of its operation at its first-ever station in India.
The airline has announced that it would be replacing its Boeing B777 aircraft with Airbus A350 for medium haul between Singapore and Bengaluru from May 18. This plane would be used for three flights in a week. Subsequently, when the airline inducts more aircraft of this variant, these would be used to serve 10 flights per week to Bengaluru.
