Limited transfers through Changi still.
Whilst Singapore Airline, SilkAir and Scoot customers can transit through Singapore Changi Airport, they are limited to approved points (with transfers to destinations in Mainland China are currently not allowed).
Transit flights through Singapore are only for outbound journeys from the list of cities in the table here (SIA/SilkAir). Passengers will not be able to transit from other points in the SIA Group network through Singapore into these cities. If with a domestic transfer within the same country or within the Schengen area, connecting to an airline within the SIA Group are allowed to transit in Singapore to destinations in the approved list of cities.
A staged growth
Whilst the airline may be trying out dining services and onboard dining clubs aboard its A380s, its good to see that the airline is trying to grow out its network – both in destinations and frequencies.
Whist 15% of January 2020’s service is nothing to write home about, the airline is growing out its network sustainably it seems.
