On Tuesday, the Singapore Airlines (SIA) Group said that it will restart passenger services across its India network from November 29. The services will be restarted from India for the first time since March 2020. The services were stopped due to Covid-19.
In a statement, the Singapore airlines said that Singapore Airlines will be launching regular Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) services from Chennai, Delhi and Mumbai on November 29, subject to regulatory approvals, providing eligible customers with quarantine-free entry into Singapore.
Further, the statement said, “In addition, SIA will progressively operate non-VTL services from Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Kolkata, and Kochi from November 29. Customers on these flights must meet the entry requirements into Singapore, and will face prevailing health control measures, including seven-day quarantine in Singapore."
The statement also said that to celebrate the occasion, Singapore Airlines will be offering up to 50 per cent discount on selected fares to Singapore from all SIA points across India. Round trip fares start from Rs 13,100 (all-inclusive), and the customers will be able to avail this sale from November 23-30 for travel before December 31.
The airlines added in the statement, “Customers who are not Singapore citizens or permanent residents and wish to travel on the VTL services, need to apply for a Vaccinated Travel Pass (VTP) prior to their visa application. VTP applications must be made between seven and 60 calendar days before the intended date of entry into Singapore. Customers must also ensure that they are eligible to travel under the VTL arrangements before their flight", reported TOI.
