The new service will offer passengers a convenient and comfortable way to travel between the two cities, as well as access to Singapore's vibrant and diverse culture, cuisine, and attractions. Singapore is one of the world's leading financial and business hubs and a popular tourist destination with its iconic landmarks such as Marina Bay Sands, Gardens by the Bay, and Sentosa Island. London-Gatwick Airport is the third largest airport in the United Kingdom and is a gateway to Europe and beyond.
Singapore Airlines already operates flights from London Heathrow Airport (LHR) to Singapore (SIN) on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays⁴. The airline also flies to other destinations in Europe from LHR via Amsterdam (AMS), Geneva (GVA), Milan (MXP), or Rome (FCO). In addition, Singapore Airlines has codeshare agreements with other airlines that fly to London-Gatwick Airport from various regions worldwide.
Singapore Airlines is known for its high-quality service, award-winning products, and innovative technology. The airline has won numerous accolades for its excellence in customer satisfaction, safety performance, and environmental sustainability. Some of its notable achievements include being ranked among the top three airlines in the world by Skytrax for nine consecutive years, being named Best Airline in Asia by World Travel Awards six times, and being recognized as one of the most sustainable airlines in the world by Air Transport Action Group. The new non-stop service from Singapore to London-Gatwick Airport is expected to boost tourism between the two countries and enhance connectivity between Asia-Pacific and Europe. The airline hopes that this new route will provide more options for travelers who want to experience both cultures and enjoy their time in both destinations.
