SINGAPORE AIRLINES will launch its inaugural nonstop flights between its Singapore hub and London Gatwick Airport in June 2024, operating the five-times a week service with the long-haul variant of its Airbus A350-900 aircraft.

Together with its current four-times daily services to London’s Heathrow Airport, this will bring the total number of flights to the UK’s capital to 33 weekly services from the current 28 a week.
