SIA to increase capacity to Beijing with temporary A380 service

SINGAPORE – To satisfy higher demand on its flights during the lead-up to the commencement of the Olympic Games, Singapore Airlines (SIA) will fly the Airbus A380 super-jumbo on one of its three daily flights between Singapore and Beijing for one week in early August.

The first A380 flight to China will depart Singapore at 0830 on Saturday August 2, 2008, arriving in Beijing at 1440. On the return journey, SQ805 will depart Beijing at 1705 and touch down in Singapore at 2320 (all times local).

Thereafter, it will operate daily till Friday 8 August 2008, after which service will revert to the normal scheduled Boeing 777 aircraft.

Customers who hold ticketed bookings on flights to be operated by the A380 will be automatically accommodated on the new aircraft.
