Another smooth route: SilkAir flies to Hangzhou

This is the regional carrier’s 8th Chinese destination.

SilkAir confirms that China is an important market, and launching another destination means that the carrier sees potential growth in the country.

Flight MI918, the maiden flight to Hangzhou, departed Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 2 at 10:00 today, and is scheduled to arrive in Hangzhou’s Xiaoshan International Airport at 3:20. The return flight, MI917 will depart Hangzhou at 4:20, and is scheduled to reach Singapore at 9:25.

The 48th SilkAir destination in SilkAir’s network, Hangzhou’s famous tourist attraction is West Lake, where popular attractions such as Lingyin Temple and Six Harmonies Pagoda can be found. Hangzhou is also famous for its Longjing or Dragon Well Green tea, and boasts acres of lush tea fields growing some of the finest grades of this tea.

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.
