Singapore Airlines plans to increase passenger flights to Australia and Japan to take advantage of increased demand, reported Dow Jones Newswires.
Singapore's flag carrier will fly to Melbourne four times a day instead of three, and to Adelaide 12 times a week instead of 10, the company said. This will raise its weekly flights to Australia to 121.
Qantas Airways previously said it would increase its number of Australia-Singapore flights, after announcing its intention to use Dubai instead of Singapore as its hub for the "Kangaroo" route connecting Australia and Europe.
Singapore Airlines will increase the frequency of flights to the Japanese cities of Fukuoka and Osaka, and fly the Singapore-Moscow-Houston route daily from May 20 to August 11, the carrier said, announcing its northern summer schedule.
It also said its non-stop service to Los Angeles will end October 20, and a similar service to Newark will end November 23. It had earlier announced it would cease operating what currently are the longest flights in the world due to soaring fuel costs.
