Singapore Airlines to scale up ops from Mumbai

Singapore Airlines (SIA) has said it will scale up operations from Mumbai with four new weekly flights from the country's financial capital to the city state in April to cater to the rising demand on the route.
The airline currently has two daily flights, one each in morning and evening, on the route, run by Boeing 777 and Airbus A380 respectively.
"The additions in frequency have been made to meet growth in demand for travel to and from India's business capital. With peak summer travel season approaching, increased flight connections will help the anticipated surge in holidaying traffic to Singapore and beyond," SIA India General Manager David Lau said in a release.

Singapore Airlines now offers 18 weekly connections from Mumbai, it said.
Singapore's Changi Airport had recently said that Mumbai was its fourth fastest growing route with an 8.2 per cent year-on-year growth, among other destinations with at least half a million passengers handled from the city in 2015.
