SilkAir to transfer Busan service to SIA

Seat capacity has been increased by 76%.

Singapore Airlines’s (SIA) regional wing SilkAir will be transferring its services to Busan in South Korea to SIA starting 28 October, which will boost its seat capacity on the route by 76% according to a press release.

Sales for the new Busan flights start on 12 September, and customers with existing bookings on SilkAir’s Busan flights on and after 28 October will be re-accommodated on SIA’s flights.

The route will be served with an Airbus A330-300 aircraft, which has 30 Business Class and 255 Economy Class seats. A330s can accommodate up to 123 more passengers per flight than SilkAir’s Boeing 737-800s, which currently serve the Singapore-Busan route.

SIA will maintain SilkAir’s current flight frequency at four times per week, subject to regulatory approvals.

In addition to Busan, SIA and low-cost subsidiary Scoot operate a total of 31 weekly flights to Seoul in South Korea.

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.
