The Singapore Airlines started to operate direct flights between Istanbul and Singapore on Monday.
A Singapore Airlines plane took off from Istanbul’s Ataturk Airport with 94 passengers aboard. It is expected to arrive in Singapore on Tuesday.
The flag carrier of Singapore will fly between Istanbul and Singapore for four times a week, on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.
“Direct flights will reduce the flight time between the two cities by two hours and 25 minutes,” Singapore Airlines Turkey’s director general Ang Beng Siong said during a ceremony at the airport.
Previously, the airline company was flying between Istanbul and Singapore via Dubai.
The airline is a subsidiary of Singapore government investment and holding company Temasek Holdings which holds 54.5% of voting stock.
Singapore Airlines has diversified into related industries and sectors, including ground handling, aircraft leasing, aviation engineering, air catering, and tour operations.
