The ‘World’s Best Airline’ in the Skytrax Awards 2023 is to fly from Gatwick. Singapore Airlines has announced a five times weekly non-stop service from Gatwick to Singapore Changi Airport commencing 22 June, offering greater choice and connectivity to southeast Asia and Australia.
The new service will complement the airline’s four daily flights from Heathrow and five times weekly services from Manchester, increasing to 38 direct services a week from the UK to Singapore – more than any other carrier. With a brief stopover total travel time from London to Sydney is 21hrs 40mins.
Departure time from Gatwick’s North Terminal is 10:15 local arriving in Singapore at 6:20 the next day, an excellent early morning time for connections.
The 13-hour flight will be operated with the Airbus A350-900, a highly fuel-efficient and quieter aircraft. The 253-seat aircraft features three cabin classes, with 42 seats in Business Class, 24 in Premium Economy and 187 in Economy. There is complimentary wi-fi in all cabins.
Stewart Wingate, CEO of Gatwick, said: “Passengers arriving from Singapore will benefit from London Gatwick’s outstanding connections, with our newly redesigned train station providing direct access to the heart of London in less than 30 minutes, alongside services to world-famous cities such as Cambridge and the UK’s beautiful south coast".
