SilkAir will de-link its twice-weekly Singapore-Darwin-Cairns-Singapore flight MI 822 from May 30 in a move that will see the Singapore Airlines regional subsidiary operate direct services for all of its flights to both Darwin and Cairns.
“At present, passengers who opt to fly on either the Monday or Thursday Singapore-Cairns service will have to do a stopover in Darwin. From 30 May, passengers will no longer have to do this stopover in Darwin when they travel from Singapore to Cairns. Currently, direct flights between Singapore and Cairns are only operated on Saturdays,” SilkAir said in a statement on Monday.
“Likewise, passengers flying from Darwin on Mondays and Thursdays currently have to do a stopover in Cairns on the way to Singapore. With the de-linking of flights, they will now be able to fly non-stop from Darwin to Singapore. The airline also flies direct from and to Darwin on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.”
The new schedule will both cut flight times to Singapore and increase capacity into Darwin and Cairns.
