Singapore Airlines is set to operate a record number of weekly services to Europe this November, with the airline planning to fly to 15 cities on the continent. This will include a new destination and frequency increases to three others. The largest capacity and frequency will be seen on the London-Singapore market.
The airline's European network consists of an overlapping combination of high-yield destinations and destinations that serve as a hub for fellow Star Alliance members, which boosts the airline's secondary network, offering more options to passengers.
Schedule data from Cirium indicates that this is achieved by three routes, seeing a frequency increase, while also making a change to its network, which would see the carrier return to the Spanish city of Madrid for the first time since 2004.
The airline's senior network planner, Behramjee Ghadially, states: 'Singapore Airlines is bullish in forecasting that passengers bound between Europe and Australasia will prefer to fly via an airport that is not in the Gulf.'
This Winter season, Europe is scheduled to see 128 Singapore Airlines weekly departures heading to 15 cities, marking the highest number of flights the airline has operated to the continent ever.
The airline's focus on high-yield destinations and hub connections is a key factor in its European expansion. By offering more options to passengers, the airline aims to increase revenue and attract more customers.
The return of Madrid to Singapore Airlines' network is seen as a significant development, marking the first time the airline has operated direct services to the Spanish capital since 2004.
