Singapore Airlines adds third London route

The airline will fly to London three times daily effective June 1.

Singapore Airlines announced that it has added a third flight to London via the Airbus380.

Currently, two of the services are operated with the superjumbo while one is operated with the Boeing 777-300ER. From June 1, the third daily service, departing Singapore as flight SQ308 and returning from London as SQ319, will be operated with an A380 as well.

The switch to the larger A380 will increase seat capacity on the route by 17% a day.

London was Singapore Airlines’ first destination in Europe to receive the superjumbo, in March 2008. This was increased to double-daily A380 operations six months later.

Singapore Airlines currently operates the A380 to 10 destinations: Sydney, London, Tokyo, Paris, Hong Kong, Melbourne, Zurich, Los Angeles, Frankfurt and New York.
