Visakhapatnam, Sept 18:
SilkAir, the regional wing of Singapore Airlines, will commence services from Visakhapatnam to Singapore from October 28.
With this new air link, the global route network of the airlines will grow to 42 in twelve countries, according to G.M Toh, the General Manager of Singapore Airlines (India).
At a press meet here on Tuesday, he said it would be the first international non-stop flight from Vizag and it would boost commerce and trade between the two cities.
Visakhapatnam, he said, was one of the fastest growing cities in India and improved air connectivity would impart impetus to its growth. The flight would be operated thrice a week and depending on the need the frequency would be enhanced, he said.
He said there was daily flight to Singapore from Hyderabad.
The bookings for the Vizag flight would begin from Tuesday, he added.
The fare would be Rs 20,688 (two-way) and it would be applicable to flights between October 20 and November 30.
In response to a question, he said SilkAir was not a low-cost airline and the passengers would have to pay for quality service.
