SilkAir starts Singapore-Hyderabad flight


SilkAir, the regional wing of Singapore Airlines, started flights to Hyderabad replacing Singapore Airlines’ thrice-a-week flights to Hyderabad. To start with, SilkAir will offer customers five flights a week to Hyderabad. The SilkAir Singapore-Hyderabad flight will take off from Singapore at 2100hrs and arrive in Hyderabad at 2305hrs. The return flight will leave Hyderabad at 0005+1 hrs and reach Singapore at 0725hrs +1. Later, SilkAir will offer daily Singapore-Hyderabad flights, during the Northern Winter Schedule from October 26, 2009. “With our sister airline SilkAir operating more flights to Hyderabad, this will help customers expand their travel options as they now have a wider choice of flights a week,” said Mr Huang Cheng Eng, Singapore Airlines’ Executive Vice President, Marketing.

He added that the frequency increase on the Singapore-Hyderabad route will help meet the demands of travelers from around the world to reach this city that is a modern hub of information technology and biotechnology. “The increased frequency will also provide customers with greater connectivity when they choose to travel beyond Singapore on Singapore Airlines or SilkAir connections,” said Mr Chin Yau Seng, SilkAir’s Chief Executive. “En route to the destination, customers can indulge in SilkAir’s brand of warm hospitality and top quality inflight service,” he added. Currently, SilkAir operates flights to three cities in India, Kochi, Thiruvananthapuram and Coimbatore.
