SIA Group extends vaccinated travel to 14 cities

This could allow more passenger to fly in from cities like London, Milan, and Paris.

A Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) expansion that includes 14 cities was announced by Singapore Airlines (SIA) Group last October 9, 2021. 

Cities from the countries of Canada, Denmark, France, Italy, the Netherlands, South Korea, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States would be covered by this. 

Previously, the program only included arrangements with Brunei and Germany with its inception last September 2021.

Singapore Airlines will operate VTL services from Amsterdam, Barcelona, Copenhagen, London, Los Angeles, Milan, New York, Paris and Rome beginning October 9, 2021. A VTL to Seoul will also begin on November 16, 2021.

Meanwhile, SIA’s sister airline, Scoot, will be in charge of VTL flights from Berlin starting October 20, 2021.

Multi-city itineraries within VTL countries are also allowed if customers meet the 14-day travel history requirement.
 
Lee Lik Hsin, Executive Vice President Commercial, Singapore Airlines, has said that this move is in support of a return to quarantine-free travel. 

“The SIA Group supports all measures to reopen Singapore to quarantine-free international travel. This will enable the safe and gradual recovery of Changi Airport
as a major air hub, backed by rising vaccination rates and confidence in the robust health and safety measures across the end-to-end customer journey,” Lee said.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

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.
