SilkAir Ramps-Up Frequencies

Singaporean carrier SilkAir is to introduce additional services on its existing routes from Singapore Changi International to Chiang Mai, Manado and Yangon. The link to Manado, the capital of the North Sulawesi province of Indonesia, will notably see a fifth weekly frequency across the Northern Summer season from July 5. This route is only flown by SilkAir and has witnessed a strong increase in demand during the current calendar year.

Meanwhile, between May 31 and June 28, SilkAir will add a fourth weekly rotation to Chiang Mai, in northern Thailand, and during July will offer 17 flights per week to the former capital of Burma, Yangon. It currently offers 16 flights per week on the latter route, a market in which it is the largest operator, holding a 51 per cent share of the 267,000 O&D passengers that travelled between the two destinations in the past year.
