Seattle is the fifth US city in Singapore Airlines’ route network and the fourth to be served non-stop from Singapore. The non-stop Singapore-Seattle flights launched in early September and initially operating three times per week before increasing to four times per week in October. Airbus A350-900 aircraft are used on the route, fitted with 42 Business Class, 24 Premium Economy Class and 187 Economy Class seats. Its launch shows the airline’s commitment to expanding its operations in the important US market. It further strengthens the Singapore hub by providing customers faster and more convenient connectivity from key markets like South East Asia, South Asia and Australasia to North America. Seattle is one of the fastest growing cities in the US, with a strong and diverse economy. It is headquarters for many major US corporations and is a popular venue for start-up businesses. Seattle also ranks highly for job growth and has a steadily increasing population. It is also a popular tourist destination, famous for its lush evergreen forests and parks, vibrant arts and cultural scene as well as the gateway for Alaskan cruises. Seattle flights complement Singapore Airlines’ existing US services to Houston, Los Angeles, New York (both JFK and Newark) and San Francisco. Singapore Airlines currently operates 53 flights per week to the US, including 27 non-stop Singapore-US services. With the introduction of the new Seattle flights, total US frequency has increased to 57 weekly flights. www.singaporeair.com
