Brussels will become the latest European destination in Singapore Airlines’ (SIA) route network next year, when non-stop flights are introduced from Singapore to the Belgian capital. The first flight will be launched on 25 October 2020.
Subject
to regulatory approval, flight SQ304 will depart Singapore on Wednesdays,
Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays at 2355hrs (local time). The return sector,
operated as flight SQ303, will depart Brussels on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays
and Saturdays at 1120hrs (local time). SIA will operate the Airbus A350-900 on
these flights.
“We
are excited to launch services to Brussels – a city that is both an important
economic and political hub in Europe. This also represents SIA’s commitment to
constantly expand our network reach and provide our customers with a more
seamless travel experience,” said SIA’s Senior Vice President Marketing
Planning, Mr Tan Kai Ping.
As
the capital of Belgium, Brussels is home to the European Union (EU) and is also
dubbed as the EU’s capital city. It is the most densely populated region in
Belgium with the highest GDP per capita. The secretariat of the Benelux and
headquarters of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) are also located
in the city. Its unique geographical location makes Brussels an ideal hub for
rail, road and air traffic, earning the city the moniker "The Crossroads
of Europe". The introduction of the new route allows SIA to enhance the
Benelux’s connection to Singapore with non-stop flights from Amsterdam, Dusseldorf
and Brussels.
Tickets
for the new Brussels flights will be progressively made available for sale
through various distribution channels.
