Stockholm will become the second Scandinavian city in Singapore Airlines’route network on May 30, 2017, when the airline introduces flights to Sweden’s capital via Moscow, offering north-bound business travellers more flight options flying between southwest Pacific and northern Europe.

The new flights will be operated with the SIA fleet’s latest addition, Airbus A350-900, fitted with 253 seats, and will complement SIA’s existing flights to Copenhagen in Denmark.

SIA currently operates four weekly flights to the Russian capital, Moscow, from Singapore. The frequency will increase to five per week and the flights will continue on to Stockholm’s Arlanda Airport, starting May 30.

Star Alliance partner SAS will codeshare on the new services. Subject to approval from competition authorities, the new services will also be included in a joint venture agreement between the two airlines that took effect in 2013, covering flights between Scandinavia and Singapore.

“We have been evaluating services to Stockholm for several years and are pleased that we can now introduce services to the Swedish capital using the newest aircraft in our fleet, the Airbus A350-900. It is encouraging that our partnership with Scandinavian Airlines is going from strength to strength,” says SIA’s CEO, Mr Goh Choon Phong.

“This is another example of how together with partners we can jointly offer more travel options for our customers, bringing Southeast Asia and Scandinavia closer in addition to meeting the increasing demand for travel between Southwest Pacific and Northern Europe. With the new services to Stockholm complementing existing flights to Copenhagen, customers will soon have the choice of two convenient gateways to explore the increasingly popular Nordic countries.”
