Singapore Airlines adds a third daily Osaka flight from April

Singapore Airlines announced today that it will boost capacity to Japan from 27th April 2019, with a third daily service joining the Singapore – Osaka route.

As we mentioned in June last year, Singapore Airlines already significantly increased capacity to and from Osaka with a full season of Airbus A380 flights featuring literally hundreds of Suites saver awards across a five-month period from 28th October 2018 to 30th March 2019.

SIA’s Singapore – Osaka route is therefore currently being served with a total of two daily flights operated by the Airbus A380 and Boeing 787-10 respectively. The seasonal A380 flight reverts to a Boeing 787-10 service from 31st March 2019.

With the route set to return to the ‘regular’ setup with two Boeing 787-10 aircraft flying each day, this additional flight from late April, which will be operated by an Airbus A330, will then add a capacity of nearly 2,000 seats per week in each direction. That includes 210 seats per week in Business Class.

The schedule

These additional flights have already been loaded into the schedules and are now available for commercial sale and award redemption.

This is the current SIA schedule between Singapore and Osaka.

Here’s how the schedule looks once the seasonal A380 flight switches back to the 787 at the end of next month, with some timing changes reflecting the seasonal wind variations on Japan routes.
