Singapore Airlines yesterday began the inaugural daytime flight services between Colombo and Singapore further expanding connectivity between Sri Lanka and the airline’s global network.

The new daytime service will operate on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays, strengthening the airline’s existing flight schedule and offering customers greater flexibility and choice when travelling between the two cities.

With this addition, Singapore Airlines’ services between Colombo and Singapore will increase to ten flights per week.

The flights will be operated by Singapore Airlines’ state-of-the-art fleet, including the Airbus A350 and Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner.

Customers travelling on the new service will continue to enjoy the airline’s premium onboard experience, featuring award winning service and advanced inflight entertainment.

The newly introduced daytime flight schedule is expected to deliver more seamless and convenient connections via Singapore Changi Airport to key destinations across the airline’s extensive route network.
