Singapore Airlines will open sales on its 14-weekly flights between Singapore and Melbourne for eligible customers from 8 pm on October 22, 2021. Over the course of the past 18 months Singapore Airlines has continued to operate to Australia, maintaining flights that allowed key trade channels to remain open and connected, and essential travel to be undertaken. Currently, Singapore Airlines operates 14-weekly passenger flights between Singapore and Melbourne. Singapore Airlines Regional Vice President southwest Pacific, Mr. Louis Arul, welcomed the news of the lift in the overseas travel ban from Victoria and looked forward to seeing families and friends reunited from November 1.
