Some are now exploring newer hubs overseas to cushion them against similar disruptions in the future.
Singapore Air, along with low-cost unit Scoot, expects to reach 77% of the group’s pre-Covid capacity by March, according to a quarterly earnings statement Tuesday. Scoot will also halt services to Australia’s Gold Coast from July.
Scoot is however planning to resume services to Haikou, Nanning, Ningbo, Shenyang and Xi’an in China from late March, as the world’s second-largest aviation market reopens. Singapore Air will also will start additional flights to Barcelona, Frankfurt and Rome for the summer, and resume flights to Busan in August.
Singapore Air’s flight to Vancouver, which typically took a little more than 13 hours, was on an Airbus SE A350 jet, data from Flightradar24.com shows.
