SilkAir's first flight to Kolkata takes off

With this four times weekly service, SilkAir now serves seven destinations in India.

According to a release, the first flight, MI 488, took off at 1315 hours today from Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 2 and is scheduled to arrive at Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport at 1500 hours. The return flight will depart from Kolkata at 2350 hours tonight and arrive in Singapore at 0635 hours tomorrow (all times local).

These newly introduced flights to Kolkata will complement Singapore Airlines’ three times weekly flights to the city. In total, the SIA Group of airlines will offer a combined daily flight service between Singapore and Kolkata.

The flights out of Singapore will cater to leisure and business travelers, as well as those traveling to visit friends and relatives. The flights will also enable convenient connections for customers travelling from America, Europe, Australia, Malaysia and Indonesia.

For customers from Kolkata, the new service will offer direct flights to Singapore and the convenience of onward connections to more than 90 international cities in the joint Singapore Airlines-SilkAir network.

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.
