SINGAPORE - Singapore Airlines (SIA) will suspend flights to Chengdu and Chongqing from March 31, less than five months after flights to the two Chinese cities resumed.

In response to queries, an SIA spokesman said the suspension is due to regulatory reasons, without elaborating further, including on the length of suspension.

The flag carrier currently operates  said the spokesman.

Mr Mayur Patel, head of Asia at global travel data provider OAG Aviation, said that both Chongqing and Chengdu are not on SIA’s summer 2024 flying programme between March 31 and Oct 26.

Both Chinese cities are strategically important to Changi Airport’s status as South-east Asia’s aviation hub, and its ability to offer regional connections from various markets, said Mr Patel.

However, he added that Chongqing is “well served” by Air China and Chongqing Airlines – both operate one flight each daily between the city and Singapore – while Chengdu is also served by Air China and Sichuan Airlines at the same flight frequency.

He said: “While the regulatory approval process is a setback for SIA, this could be a temporary issue that they need to sort out with the CAAC as these destinations play a strategic role with Chinese overall traffic mix, and connectivity within SIA’s global network.”
