Singapore Airlines Expands Gatwick Flights

Singapore Airlines (SIA) is increasing its London Gatwick-Singapore service to daily flights, just ten months after launching. As a result, travelers will enjoy greater flexibility and more seamless connections across the airline’s extensive network.

Strengthening Global Connectivity

Since SIA’s Singapore Changi hub serves as a gateway to Southeast Asia, Australia, and New Zealand, this expansion makes long-haul travel even more convenient. Consequently, passengers benefit from:
✔ Smoother transfers – The flight arrives at 06:20 AM local time, allowing quick and easy onward connections.
✔ One of the fastest routes to Sydney – The total journey takes only 21 hours and 30 minutes, ensuring efficient travel.
✔ More UK-Singapore flight options – In addition to Gatwick, SIA operates four daily flights from Heathrow and five weekly flights from Manchester to Singapore.

Enhancing the Passenger Experience

In order to ensure maximum comfort, Singapore Airlines operates the Airbus A350-900 long-haul variant on this route. Furthermore, the aircraft offers a thoughtfully designed three-class configuration:

  • 42 Business Class seats – Fully lie-flat seating and personalized service enhance the journey.
  • 24 Premium Economy Class seats – Extra legroom, upgraded dining, and priority boarding create a premium experience.
  • 187 Economy Class seats – Spacious seating with modern amenities guarantees a comfortable flight.
  • Complimentary in-flight Wi-Fi – Available in all cabin classes for KrisFlyer members, allowing passengers to stay connected.
Industry Leaders Praise the Expansion

“Expanding our London Gatwick service to daily flights in under a year demonstrates strong demand. Additionally, with 40 direct weekly services between the UK and Singapore, we provide more flights than any other carrier. We are excited to build on this success.”

Jonathan Pollard, Chief Commercial Officer, London Gatwick

“Singapore Airlines’ move to daily flights in under a year highlights the route’s success. As a result, we continue investing in infrastructure to enhance passenger options.”

Exclusive Lounge Access at London Gatwick

Because Singapore Airlines prioritises premium service, Business Class passengers, PPS Club, and KrisFlyer Elite Gold members receive access to the No1 Lounge in Gatwick North Terminal before departure. In addition, this lounge provides a quiet and comfortable space to relax before long-haul flights.
