SIA boosts capacity on Manchester to Singapore route

SINGAPORE Airlines is increasing capacity on its Manchester to Singapore route by 27% with the introduction of a new aircraft.

From March 31, the airline will introduce a Boeing 777-200ER ‘Jubilee’ aircraft on four days of the week, enabling it to fly non-stop.

Previously, SIA operated a one-stop service using a Boeing 747 from Manchester. It will still use the 747 on the remaining three days of the week.

The move coincides with the launch of the SpaceBed on services out of Manchester.
