SIA cuts flights to Indian destinations

New Delhi: Singapore Airlines (SIA) today announced withdrawal of its services to Amritsar from February 4 and reduction in its frequencies to Chennai and Bangalore from now on as part of its cost cutting measures.
The service to Amritsar would be withdrawn from February 4 and customers booked on flights to and from Amritsar would be accommodated on SIA flights to and from Delhi, an airline spokesperson said here.
Frequencies to Bangalore and Chennai would also be reduced during the Winter schedule, that came into effect three days ago. Three of the 10 flights to Bangalore each week and four of the 11 flights to Chennai would be withdrawn.
Both the cities would, however, continue to be served by daily flights, the spokesperson said.
The SIA spokesperson said the flight reductions were part of the "adjustments" being carried out by the airline throughout its global network and added that flights to several other cities like Seoul, Penang, Ho Chi Minh and Osaka would be affected.
