Last month Singapore Airlines and Changi Airport gained regulatory approval to accept transit passengers on connecting itineraries, from an initially limited list of origin cities, which was then expanded to a much more useful 19 points by late June.
Today there’s a further extension to the list, with three more European cities now marked as eligible starting points for a total of 22 across the three SIA Group airlines.
All European cities are now approved
Effective from Wednesday 15th July 2020, passengers flying on Singapore Airlines originating in the following cities are now also eligible to transit through Changi:
- Barcelona
- Paris
- Zurich
This coincides with the re-launch of Paris services by the airline from the same date, initially twice weekly ramping up to three times per week in August 2020.
Singapore Airlines is currently flying to seven of its usual 14 destinations in Europe, so these new additions mean all of the carrier’s current European network is now classified as an eligible transit origin area.
“With effect from Wednesday 15 July 2020, Singapore Airlines and SilkAir customers can transit through Singapore Changi Airport from additional points in Europe to any destination in the SIA Group network currently operated by SIA, SilkAir or Scoot.”

That means itineraries starting in the following 22 cities are now eligible to book and transit through Changi on an SIA group booking, starting tomorrow, and subject to the immigration requirements of their final destination:
