Singapore Airlines (SIA) will launch its inaugural non-stop flights between Singapore and London’s Gatwick Airport in June 2024, operating the five-times weekly services with the long-haul variant of its Airbus A350-900 aircraft.

Together with its current four-times daily services to London’s Heathrow Airport, this will bring the total number of flights to the UK capital to 33 weekly services from today’s 28 weekly services. SIA also operates five-times weekly services to Manchester Airport.

Subject to regulatory approval, flight SQ310 will operate on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. The inaugural flight will depart Singapore for Gatwick Airport at 23.55hrs (local time) on 21 June 2024 and arrive in London at 06.25hrs (local time) on 22 June 2024.

The return leg, flight SQ309, will operate from Gatwick Airport to Singapore on Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

The inaugural return flight will depart at 10.15hrs (local time) on 22 June 2024 and arrive in Singapore at 06.20hrs on 23 June 2024. The early morning arrival offers customers options to connect to SIA and Scoot flights to destinations across South East Asia, Australia, and New Zealand.

SIA’s long-haul A350-900s feature 253 seats in three cabin classes: 42 in Business Class, 24 in Premium Economy Class, and 187 in Economy Class.

The addition of Gatwick increases the number of European destinations in the SIA network to 141 , reflecting its firm commitment to enhancing its connectivity to this key region.

Dai Haoyu, Acting Senior Vice President Marketing Planning, Singapore Airlines, said: “London has always been a very important market for the Singapore Airlines Group. With the introduction of this new service to London’s Gatwick Airport, Singapore Airlines’ customers will have an additional flight to choose from when flying between Singapore and the UK. It also opens up additional travel options to other points in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region.”
