Singapore Airlines (SIA) will begin daily flights between Singapore and Beijing’s Daxing International Airport on November 11, 2024, pending regulatory approvals. This new route will enhance connectivity to the Beijing, Hebei, and Tianjin regions, providing convenient access via a network of highways, subways, and railways.
From November 2024, SIA will operate to eight destinations in mainland China: Beijing (Capital), Beijing (Daxing), Chengdu, Chongqing, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Xiamen. Scoot will cover 17 destinations, including Changsha, Fuzhou, Guangzhou, Haikou, Hangzhou, Jinan, Kunming, Nanchang, Nanjing, Nanning, Ningbo, Qingdao, Shenyang, Tianjin, Wuhan, Xi’an, and Zhengzhou. This extensive network provides passengers with a wide range of options for travel between Singapore and China.
In addition to launching flights to Beijing Daxing, Singapore Airlines will also increase its services to Beijing Capital International Airport. Starting August 5, 2024, the airline will operate 21 weekly flights, up from the current 18. This expansion means SIA will have 28 weekly flights to Beijing by November 2024. Including the new Daxing route, the SIA Group, which comprises SIA and its low-cost subsidiary Scoot, will serve 24 destinations in mainland China.
Dai Haoyu, Acting Senior Vice President Marketing Planning at Singapore Airlines, emphasized the importance of the Chinese market for SIA. “China is a key market for the Singapore Airlines Group. This new flight to Beijing Daxing allows SIA to offer an additional daily service to Beijing, a popular destination for both tourist and business travelers. With 24 destinations in the Group’s mainland China network, we offer some of the best options and connections for travel between Singapore and China, and beyond.”
Kong Yue, Vice President of Beijing Daxing International Airport, expressed excitement about the new partnership. “Singapore Airlines is the first foreign airline to operate services from Beijing Daxing International Airport to Singapore. We believe the inception of Singapore Airlines at Beijing Daxing International Airport will bring about a renewed sense of energy and opportunities, fulfilling the travel demand between both countries as we jointly work together for more good things to come.”
