SIA to fly direct from Singapore to Los Angeles

It will use its new Airbus A350-900ULR for the trips.

Singapore Airlines (SIA) will launch direct flights between Singapore and Los Angeles with its new ultra-long-range Airbus A350-900ULR in November, an announcement revealed.

Flight SQ38 from Singapore to Los Angeles will start from 2 November and will initially be served three times per week. It will depart Singapore on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.

“Our US services have always been popular with our customers and we are pleased to be able to provide even more travel options with the launch of non-stop flights between Singapore and Los Angeles,” SIA CEO Goh Choon Phong said.

Starting 9 November, the operations will be daily operations through an additional A350-900ULR aircraft From 7 December, three more weekly services will be added.

SIA will be the first to operate the A350-900ULR that has two-class layout including the 67 Business Class seats and 94 Premium Economy Class seats.

The direct flights from Singapore and Los Angeles will put to end SIA’s existing one-stop service to Los Angeles via Seoul after 30 November. The firm said that Singapore-Seoul frequency will be maintained at four flights per day.

In addition, its Singapore-San Francisco routes will increase to 10 times per week. The move will link Singapore and the US with 27 non-stop SIA flights by late 2018, together with direct Singapore-New York trips.

The three additional San Francisco services will operate as SQ34 and will depart every Wednesday, Friday and Sunday to the US.

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.
