Singapore Airlines has today announced the launch of new nonstop service between Singapore’s Changi Airport and London Gatwick starting June 2024. The route will operate five times weekly with an Airbus A350-900.
On Monday (December 18, 2023), Singapore Airlines (SIA) announced the launch of new nonstop service between Singapore Changi International Airport (SIN) and London Gatwick (LGW) starting June 2024. The route will operate five times weekly with an Airbus A350-900. Pending regulatory approval, flight SQ310 will operate on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, departing Singapore at 23:55 and arriving in London at 06:25+1 (all times local). The inaugural flight will take to the skies on June 21, 2024.
In today’s announcement, Singapore Airlines’ Acting SVP – Marketing Planning, Mr. Dai Haoyu, said,
"London has always been a very important market for the Singapore Airlines Group. With the introduction of this new service to London’s Gatwick Airport, Singapore Airlines’ customers will have an additional flight to choose from when flying between Singapore and the UK. It also opens up additional travel options to other points in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region.”
Also commenting on the new route launch, London Gatwick’s CEO, Mr. Stewart Wingate, said,
“Renowned as one of the world’s best carriers, we are delighted to welcome Singapore Airlines to London Gatwick. It showcases the high regard in which Gatwick is held, and connecting to the impressive Changi Airport is a big boost for the whole region. For passengers across London and the South East, the new route will provide huge connectivity potential, not only to the fantastic destination of Singapore, but more widely across South East Asia, Australia and New Zealand. With significant increases in trade between the UK and Singapore in recent years, the service also provides exciting opportunities for local and regional businesses.
Passengers arriving from Singapore will benefit from London Gatwick’s outstanding connections, with our newly redesigned train station providing direct access to the heart of London in less than 30 minutes, alongside services to world-famous cities such as Cambridge and the UK’s beautiful south coast.”
The new London Gatwick route complements SIA’s existing four times daily service to London-Heathrow (LHR). In total, Singapore Airlines will operate 33 weekly services to London. SIA’s long-haul A350-900s are configured with 42 Business Class, 24 Premium Economy and 187 Economy Class seats. Flights to London Gatwick will be available for booking across all distribution channels starting December 19, 2023.
