SINGAPORE — Singapore Airlines (SIA) flights to the Chinese cities of Chongqing, Chengdu and Xiamen will resume from April 22 after a three-week suspension.

Singapore Airlines to resume flights to 3 Chinese cities from April 22 after disruption due to 'regulatory reasons'

Before the pause in flights, SIA operated daily services to Chengdu and Xiamen, and flew three times a week to Chongqing. The analyst who founded aviation consultancy Sobie Aviation noted that the now-defunct SilkAir — which merged with SIA in 2021 — previously had the rights and slots to the affected routes, but that the slots could not simply be transferred to SIA.

“So to transfer you need to reapply, and you are essentially at the back of the queue. Many airports don’t have available slots so it’s not easy unless you want to operate at really off-peak times like 2am,” said Mr Sobie. Such new restrictions include allowing a reduction in the number of destinations an airline can fly to, as well as the frequency of flights.
