SIA to launch daily Hangzhou flights from 1 June
Route expands mainland China network to nine destinations.
Singapore Airlines will launch daily services between Singapore and Hangzhou from 1 June, expanding its mainland China network and strengthening access to the Yangtze River Delta market.
The airline said Hangzhou will become its ninth destination in mainland China. Together with Scoot, the SIA Group will serve 22 destinations in the market from that date.
SIA will operate the route with the medium-haul variant of its Airbus A350-900, configured with 303 seats, including 40 in Business Class and 263 in Economy Class.
The inaugural SQ838 flight is scheduled to leave Singapore at 5:40 pm on 1 June and arrive in Hangzhou at 10:50 pm the same day. The return SQ839 service will depart Hangzhou at 12:10 am on 2 June and land in Singapore at 5:10 am.
SIA said the new daily service will complement Scoot’s existing daily Hangzhou flights and offer more options for both leisure and business travellers. Tickets will be progressively made available for sale from 23 March through the airline’s distribution channels.
