Keith T 2 Report post Posted May 2, 2006 (edited) Commencing 19th July 2006, SQ will fly SIN-MXP-BCNvv, departing SIN Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. http://www.singaporeair.com/saa/en_UK/cont...ase/NE_1706.jsp MXP would be a cool city to have on their network. A bit iffy about BCN though - MAD didn't go too well for them so I wonder what made them think BCN will work. A nifty intra Europe option for those planning on doing *A RTW or Euro explorer tickets. Pretty confident that they will have full traffic rights on MXP-BCN as they did with CDG-MAD and do now with ZRH-MAN. Edited May 2, 2006 by Keith T Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good to see them expanding. Hope SQ will go for 787 instead of 350 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Seth K 3 Report post Posted May 2, 2006 (edited) Barcelona instead of Madrid? Great news? More SQ customers in europe then. This is definately a total impact to Alitalia. Barcelona could be profitable, they have soccer, beaches, antique cities etc. Singapore Airlines will be the only airline to fly between Singapore and both these Mediterranean cities No doubt about that Edited May 2, 2006 by Seth K Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S V Choong 4 Report post Posted May 2, 2006 It probably means more places for LeeCH and Colin Kok to go for shopping and checking out local gals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keith T 2 Report post Posted May 2, 2006 Barcelona instead of Madrid? They actually pulled MAD sometime last year. It was a tag on to CDG. I think BCN is more of a tourist destination. I could be wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pieter C. 5 Report post Posted May 3, 2006 Doesn't TG flies about 3 times weekly from Bangkok to Madrid via Rome? TG operates on days 1..4.67 BKK-FCO-MAD with 744... Star Alliance is expending fast 'across' the Mediterranean In any case: a big blow to AZ and IB, who also have to compete with LCC Vueling on these stretches...

Hope SQ will go for 787 instead of 350 I thought TG also fly to Milan as well. I remember seeing the photo at a.net They actually pulled MAD sometime last year. It was a tag on to CDG. I think BCN is more of a tourist destination. I could be wrong. Indeed. I flew SQ from CDG - SIN, and the incoming flight was from MAD. However, that was back in 2001.
