Singapore Airlines (SIA) has unveiled plans to increase services to points across Japan and restore its Indian network to pre-pandemic levels in the coming months.
The airline will also add more flights to Los Angeles and Paris by December 2022, and continue with its direct services to Vancouver.
The network expansion is is in response to strong demand for air travel, and will offer customers more flexibility and options in the northern winter operating season (Oct 30, 2022 to March 25, 2023).
Together with other adjustments to the SIA and Scoot network, the SIA Group capacity is projected to be at around 81% of pre-pandemic levels by December 2022.
“Japan is a key market for the SIA Group, and we will work closely with our partners to meet the demand for air travel as entry requirements gradually ease,” said JoAnn Tan, Senior Vice President Marketing Planning, Singapore Airlines. “Robust demand for travel to and from India to points across the group’s network support an increase in our services in this important market. By stepping up services into the Northern Winter season we give our customers even more flight options as they make their travel plans over the next few months. The SIA Group will closely monitor the demand for air travel and adjust its services accordingly.”
From July 24, SQ634 to Tokyo (Haneda) and SQ638 to Tokyo (Narita) will become daily services. Together with the daily SQ12 service from Singapore to Los Angeles via Tokyo (Narita), SIA will operate thrice daily services into Japan’s capital, up from 14 flights per week.

With the thrice weekly service to Nagoya, SIA will operate 62% of its pre-COVID19 operating capacity to Japan by 30 October 2022.
From Nov , SQ36 will 30operate as a daily non-stop flight to Los Angeles. This is in addition to the current daily SQ38 service. The airline will operate 21 weekly services to Los Angeles, including the daily one-stop service through Tokyo (Narita), up from the current 17 flights per week.

no ticket prices mentioned.crucial information is missing.
I’ve seen a real bargain priced ticket show up and disappear over the last month…now, WHEN are they going to let us IN?!
Someone is waiting for me !
But tourists not allowed in !? except package tours
Seems odd given the still pretty heavy restrictions Japan is imposing on tourists.
unless there is big demand for tour packages or business visitors, opening more flights is weird.
Time to allow free and easy tourism
Seems odd given the still pretty heavy restrictions Japan is imposing on tourists.
Not really. There are a lot of Japanese companies and Japanese in Singapore. Think business.
