Singapore Airlines’ Brisbane expansion
Singapore Airlines currently operates 25-flights-a-week between Singapore Changi Airport (SIN) and Brisbane Airport (BNE). The airline has now announced that it will operate three-additional-flights-a-week, thus operating 4-flights-a-day (28-flights-a-week). This will bring the capacity to pre-pandemic level for the first time in five years.
Flights SQ265/266 currently operate on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays by Airbus A350. Starting 16th June 2025, these flights will also operate on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, making it a daily service.
All the four daily flights to Brisbane are operated by the airline’s Airbus A350 aircraft.
