Singapore Airlines (SIA) has announced plans to enhance its European network by increasing flight frequencies to Manchester, Milan, Munich, and London Gatwick, alongside launching a new route to Madrid via Barcelona. The expansion, set to commence in July 2026, aims to meet growing demand and improve connectivity through SIA’s Singapore hub.
From 26 October 2026, SIA will introduce a five-times-weekly service to Madrid, marking its 15th European destination and second in Spain. The route will be operated by the Airbus A350-900, featuring 253 seats across Business, Premium Economy, and Economy classes. Tickets for the Madrid service will be available from June 2026.
Key changes include daily flights to Manchester starting 13 July 2026, and twice-daily services to London Gatwick from 25 October 2026, increasing SIA’s total London services to six daily flights. Milan will also see daily flights from 25 October 2026, replacing the current Singapore-Milan-Barcelona service. Additionally, a new three-times-weekly service to Munich will begin on 26 October 2026, raising the total to 10 weekly flights.
Dai Haoyu, Senior Vice President Marketing Planning at SIA, stated, “Europe is an important market for Singapore Airlines, and these adjustments reflect our commitment to it. We are seeing strong demand for travel to Europe, and increasing frequencies to key destinations such as Manchester, Milan, Munich, and London Gatwick in response.”
These strategic adjustments are expected to offer travellers more options for both business and leisure travel across Europe.
