Singapore Airlines announces April 2021 schedule

Singapore Airlines and SilkAir have announced their flight schedules through to the end of April 2021, adding an additional month to the previously confirmed route list, which was published through to 27th March 2021.

Though the current plans for the passenger route network remain largely the same as in March 2021, some notable changes include a return to Taipei for Singapore Airlines and a 150% increase in flights to the Maldives for SilkAir.

Overall the SIA Group will operate 25% of its pre-COVID passenger capacity by April 2021, its largest schedule in almost a year.

Sydney, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, London and Tokyo will be be the most frequently served destinations, each receiving two daily services, while 17 additional cities benefit from daily connections, including Amsterdam, Frankfurt and New York.

  Headline figures

In total SIA and SilkAir will fly approximately 2,250 passenger flights during April 2021, their highest total since the pandemic hit, causing schedules to be decimated to a bare-bones operation with just 4% of usual capacity back in April 2020.

Singapore Airlines Schedule

Since our last update, when Dubai, Moscow and Tokyo Haneda were added to the passenger network, the following additions have also been made:

• Taipei (from 31st March)

Singapore Airlines originally re-added Taipei to the passenger network three times per week in September 2020, but transferred the route to Scoot in mid-December 2020.

Scoot has not announced its April 2021 schedule yet, however SIA is returning to the Taipei route three times per week with the Boeing 787-10 from 31st March 2021.

Shenzhen, which has not been a regular Singapore Airlines route since 2003/04, made a weekly reappearance from mid-November 2020, however this service will not be continued into the upcoming summer season with the last flight operating on 21st March 2021.

Here’s a map of the Asia-Pacific destinations Singapore Airlines will be serving by April 2021.

Note: Shenzhen ends 21st March 2021, Taipei starts 31st March 2021.

In addition, three US destinations, nine European cities, Istanbul in Turkey and Johannesburg in South Africa will continue to be served.
