SIA's KrisShop to allow last-minute pre-orders for duty-free items

But only for customers departing Singapore on SilkAir flights for now.

Singapore Airlines’ (SIA) online retail store KrisShop.com will allow customers to pre-order duty-free merchandise up to 60 minutes prior to their flight departure out of Singapore starting 5 September.

For now, the service is limited to those departing Singapore on select SilkAir flights on weekdays between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. (1000hrs and 1600hrs) This will progressively be extended to other SilkAir and SIA flights.

KrisShop currently provides pre-ordering services of up to 24 hours and 48 hours for SIA and SilkAir flights departing Singapore respectively. “With the new initiative, customers who have already checked in and wish to make a last-minute order will still be able to purchase the duty-free merchandise before their flight departs,” the company said.

Customers can then collect their purchased items on board their flight.

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.
