SilkAir to transfer Busan service to SIA

Seat capacity has been increased by 76%.

Singapore Airlines’s (SIA) regional wing SilkAir will be transferring its services to Busan in South Korea to SIA starting 28 October, which will boost its seat capacity on the route by 76% according to a press release.

Sales for the new Busan flights start on 12 September, and customers with existing bookings on SilkAir’s Busan flights on and after 28 October will be re-accommodated on SIA’s flights.

The route will be served with an Airbus A330-300 aircraft, which has 30 Business Class and 255 Economy Class seats. A330s can accommodate up to 123 more passengers per flight than SilkAir’s Boeing 737-800s, which currently serve the Singapore-Busan route.

SIA will maintain SilkAir’s current flight frequency at four times per week, subject to regulatory approvals.

In addition to Busan, SIA and low-cost subsidiary Scoot operate a total of 31 weekly flights to Seoul in South Korea.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
