Changi boosts European route capacity by 54%

Thanks to a new daily service between Zurich and Singapore from May 2013.

According to a release, Changi Airport Group warmly welcomed the announcement by Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS), the national carrier of Switzerland, of its return to Singapore Changi Airport with the introduction of a daily non-stop service between Zurich and Singapore starting from May 2013.

With the commencement of SWISS’ Singapore-Zurich service, Singapore will be linked to over 50 cities in Europe. The new service adds an additional 1,500 weekly one-way seats, boosting capacity on the route by 54%.

It will also provide more options for travellers from Singapore heading for Switzerland and Europe, and allow passengers from Switzerland to tap on Changi’s excellent connectivity to Southeast Asia and the Southwest Pacific.

Zurich is the commercial hub of Switzerland and a global financial centre. Passenger traffic between Singapore and Switzerland has been growing steadily over the years, increasing by 5% in 2011, and 15% in the first six months of 2012.

There are strong links between the Swiss and Singapore economies, and Singapore is host to the largest and fastest growing Swiss community in Southeast Asia. Singapore is also the largest Southeast Asian market for Switzerland, accounting for 35% of total tourist arrivals from this region.

SWISS operated a six-weekly Singapore-Bangkok-Zurich service until April 2009. It will operate the new Singapore-Zurich service with A340-300 aircraft in a 3-class configuration. Details of the flights are as follow:

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
