Singapore Airlines (SIA) will make its maiden flight to South America next year when it opens a route to Sao Paulo in Brazil, the airline announced yesterday. Thrice-weekly flights to Guarulhos International Airport via Barcelona in Spain will commence in March 2011, SIA said in a press statement. "Singapore Airlines has been eyeing opportunities in the fast-growing South American market for some time," said Bey Soo Khiang, SIA's senior executive vice president of marketing and corporate services. "We are pleased to be able to add a sixth continent to our route network and be the only airline offering direct flights between Southeast Asia and Brazil." "We are very excited about this new service which will help boost ties between Singapore and Brazil and pave the way for enhanced trade, tourism and travel links between Asia and South America," Bey added. SIA's route network currently spans 93 destinations in 38 countries across five continents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
