Singapore Airlines
has officially confirmed that it will be reducing its flights to Mumbai and Delhi in India in the months of February and March only to cope with lower than forecasted demand for seats on board its flights. The adjusted schedule is as follows:

BOM - frequencies reduced from double daily to 12 weekly flights. 2 of the daily "day light" flight frequencies have been suspended for 2 months.

DEL - frequencies reduced from double daily to 13 weekly flights. 1 of the daily "day light" flight frequencies have been suspended for 2 months.

With regards to CDG-Paris, the carrier has revealed that it will be reducing flights to the French capital from 10 weekly flights using a B 773ER to daily nonstop flights using an Airbus A 380 effective June 1st this year. The flight timings for the A 380 SIN-CDG-SIN operation are as follows:

SQ 334 Dep SIN 2340 Arr CDG 0655+1
SQ 333 Dep CDG 1225 Arr SIN 0655+1

This change will take place effective May 1st. SQ also revealed that the governments of Singapore and Czech Republic have signed an open skies deal thus paving the way of potential opportunities to be seriously looked at in the long term future.
