Singapore Airlines’ regional wing, SilkAir, has on June 2 added one more Australian destination to its network – Cairns.
The thrice-weekly service operates on a Boeing 737-800 aircraft with both business and economy class seats.
Saturday flights travel direct to Cairns and return via Darwin, SilkAir’s only other Australian destination, while Monday and Thursday services fly to Cairns via Darwin but are non-stop to Singapore on the return leg.
Commenting in a press release, Cairns Airport CEO, Kevin Brown, said: “The connectivity with Singapore that the new SilkAir services provides will be a great boost for the Cairns and Great Barrier Reef destination.”
“This Singapore service is a key link in our international network, giving (travellers) from Asia and Europe a new option for easy access direct into Cairns,” he added.
“It also offers convenient new options for local people to travel overseas, whether to enjoy Singapore as a destination in its own right or to connect through to other destinations.”
