Singapore Airlines to Resume Nonstop Flights to Manchester Airport

Singapore Airlines will resume nonstop flights between Manchester and Singapore on July 17.

An Airbus A350-900 will operate the service three times a week at first.

However, the airline wants to progressively expand frequency and incorporate the resumption of a transatlantic route to Houston in the future.

“Manchester and the north-west region have been a key part of our route network for over 30 years, so while it was never our intention to have an enforced service break as has happened due to the unprecedented Covid-19 pandemic, we are delighted to be able to make our return,” said SIA UK and Ireland general manager Mohamed Rafi Mar.

“As restrictions slowly ease, our dedicated Manchester staff are excited to welcome our customers back once more and we look forward to continuing our long-standing and deep connection with the city of Manchester and its surroundings.”

“We are pleased to hear Singapore Airlines will be resuming its direct service from Manchester next month.” Manchester airport Managing Director Karen Smart added.

“Singapore Airlines is one of our longest serving airlines and we know its routes have been extremely popular with passengers from across the north over the years, both in terms of leisure and business travel.

“We look forward to working with our colleagues at Singapore Airlines to make this returning service a success, especially given the destination’s inclusion on the UK government’s green list.

“Together, we hope to be able to relaunch the popular Houston service as soon as possible once travel to and from the United States is opened up.”
