Come 11 November, Singapore Airlines (SIA) will commence daily
flights between Singapore and Beijing’s Daxing International Airport,
becoming the first foreign airline to operate services to the second airport in the Chinese capital.
The new service will allow for more convenient access to China’s
Beijing, Hebei and Tianjin regions and cultural heritage sites via the
country’s network of highways, subways and railways.
The inaugural flight SQ810 to Beijing Daxing is scheduled to depart
Singapore at 00.30 on 11 November 2024 and arrive at 06.35. The return
flight SQ811 is scheduled to depart from Beijing Daxing at 09.25 on 11
November 2024 and arrive in Singapore at 15.50.
The new service will be operated on SIA’s Boeing 787-10 aircraft,
featuring 36 Business Class seats and 301 Economy Class seats.
SIA will also up the frequency of flights to Beijing Capital
International Airport from 5 August, bringing its weekly services from
18 to 21. This also means that SIA will operate 28 weekly services to
Beijing from this November.
With the addition of Beijing Daxing, the SIA Group – which comprises
SIA and its low-cost subsidiary Scoot – will serve 24 destinations in
mainland China, with SIA operating to eight destinations and Scoot
flying to 17 more.
Tickets for SIA’s Beijing Daxing services will be progressively made
available for sale through various distribution channels from 24 June
2024.
