Marking a new chapter in Singapore Airlines’ history, flight SQ68 departed on its inaugural flight from Singapore Changi Airport to Sao Paulo’s Guarulhos International Airport.
Boeing 777-300ER aircraft will be used for the new services, featuring the Airline’s latest product offerings. These include a new First Class seat which converts into the largest full-flat bed in the sky, a 30-inch-wide Business Class seat, the widest in its class, and the unprecedented comfort and space offered by the all-new Economy Class seats.
Customers can also be entertained by more than 1000 on-demand options available on Singapore Airlines’ award-winning inflight entertainment system across all three classes.
The flight is expected to arrive in the Brazilian city of Sao Paulo, via the Spanish city of Barcelona, at 1555hrs local time. On the return leg, flight SQ67 will depart Sao Paulo at 0145hrs and arrive in Singapore at 1335hrs the next day.
Sao Paulo is Singapore Airlines’ first destination in South America, which has become the sixth continent in its route network. The new three-times-weekly service also strengthens Singapore Changi Airport’s status as a global hub, as the Airline is the first to offer direct flights between Singapore and South America.
“We are pleased to add Sao Paulo to our growing network of destinations. With such high profile events as the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2016 Summer Olympic Games lined up in Brazil, we are confident that travel demand to Brazil will be strong. Similarly, we hope that Brazilians will take the opportunity to visit Singapore and use Changi Airport as a gateway to the Asia-Pacific region,” said Singapore Airlines’ Executive Vice-President Commercial, Mr Mak Swee Wah.
