Singapore Airlines (SIA) announced on Monday the new operation of its flight network for the 2024 summer season, from March 31 to October 26, 2024, which includes the recovery of the scheduled non-stop flight between Barcelona and Singapore. In this regard, from June 2, 2024, the company will restore the 2 weekly frequencies (Monday and Friday) that it had before the pandemic.

This decision comes after Singapore Airlines announced in December last year, the introduction of two additional direct flights during the months of July and August 2023, in response to the high demand of the summer season and which have exceeded all expectations.

With the conversion of two of the five weekly services via Milan to two non-stop flights, flights from Barcelona to Singapore via Milan will be rescheduled to three frequencies per week, departing from the Catalan capital. Thus, the airline will continue to offer a total of 5 weekly flights from Barcelona to Singapore.
