Singapore Airlines provides three extra services to Adelaide jetsetters

A popular long-haul airline has announced an increase in services out of Adelaide, providing locals with extra opportunity to fly overseas.

Three additional flight times will provide increased opportunity for South Australians to fly from Adelaide to Singapore.

Adelaide Airport took to Facebook on Sunday evening to announce that Singapore Airlines will be providing an extra flight on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday evenings every week.

The international airline will now operate a total of 10 flights out of Adelaide, providing locals with direct access to overseas travel.

Not only is Singapore a popular holiday destination, their airport is a well-known gateway to many other locations across Europe and Asia.

Singapore Airlines will be taking off three extra times a week with increased flights from Adelaide to Singapore.

A Singapore Airlines economy ticket from Adelaide to Singapore starts at $853 while a business class seat starts at $3983 as part of their New Year Take Off offer.

Facebook users were quick to express their excitement at the news, with some taking the opportunity to hit out at Qantas who have failed to provide Adelaide residents with direct international services in the past.

“Bravo Singapore Airlines. Qantas this is how you service Adelaide,” one commenter wrote.

“Popular route, may there be more out of Adelaide,” another added.

In November last year, fellow Asian airline, China Southern Airlines arrived back in Adelaide for the first time since the pandemic providing travellers with three weekly flights between Guangzhou and Adelaide.
