Firefly's flights to Singapore were suspended in Deceber 2018 after it was unable to obtain approval from Malaysia's aviation regulator to move its operations from Changi Airport to Seletar Airport.

The airline will operate a twice-daily Subang-Seletar service, using ATR 72-500 turboprops, from 21 to 28 April 2019. This will be increased to six daily services beginning 29 April 2019.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
