A new service offered by Singapore Airlines (SIA) promise to improve accessibility into the Australian capital of Canberra and the New Zealander capital of Wellington.
Come Sep 20 onwards, SIA will be operating the ‘Capital Express’ service four times a week on a Singapore-Canberra-Wellington route, and the reverse order on return flights. This would be mean that SIA will be the first airline with flights between the capital of both countries.
“We are excited about the prospects for our new ‘Capital Express’ route, which we are confident will appeal to leisure, government and corporate travellers,” said SIA CEO Goh Choon Phong.
“We are especially pleased to be bringing more convenient travel options to customers with Canberra’s first regularly scheduled international flights and the first non-stop links between the capitals of Australia and New Zealand.”
Currently, it takes quite a while for passengers to travel from Wellington to Asia, requiring transferring of planes and terminals at multiple airports, according to stuff.co.nz.
Flights will be available for booking on a progressive basis through the Singapore Airlines website, call centres and travel agents in the coming weeks.
