Singapore Airlines (SIA) is set to introduce daily flights between Singapore and Beijing’s Daxing International Airport starting 11 November 2024, pending regulatory approvals. The new service will enhance access to the Beijing, Hebei, and Tianjin regions, known for their cultural heritage sites, via a well-connected network of highways, subways, and railways.
In addition, SIA will increase its flights to Beijing Capital International Airport to 21 weekly services from 5 August 2024, up from the current 18. Consequently, from November 2024, SIA will operate a total of 28 weekly flights to Beijing.
With the addition of Beijing Daxing, the SIA Group, including its low-cost subsidiary Scoot, will cover 24 destinations in mainland China, underscoring its strong commitment to this significant market.
The inaugural flight SQ810 to Beijing Daxing will depart Singapore at 00:30 on 11 November 2024, arriving at 06:35. The return flight SQ811 will leave Beijing Daxing at 09:25 on the same day, landing in Singapore at 15:50. All times are local.
SIA will operate this route with its Boeing 787-10 aircraft, featuring 36 Business Class and 301 Economy Class seats.
Mr Dai Haoyu, Acting Senior Vice President Marketing Planning at Singapore Airlines, stated: “China is a key market for the Singapore Airlines Group. This new flight to Beijing Daxing allows SIA to offer an additional daily service to Beijing, a popular destination for both tourist and business travellers. With 24 destinations in the Group’s mainland China network, we offer some of the best options and connections for travel between Singapore and China, and beyond.”
Mr Kong Yue, Vice President of Beijing Daxing International Airport, added: “Singapore Airlines is the first foreign airline to operate services from Beijing Daxing International Airport to Singapore. We believe the inception of Singapore Airlines at Beijing Daxing International Airport will bring about a renewed sense of energy and opportunities, fulfilling the travel demand between both countries as we jointly work together for more good things to come.”
Tickets for the new Beijing Daxing services will be available for purchase through various distribution channels from 24 June 2024.
