Singapore Airlines lands the Airbus A350 in Perth

Singapore (Commonwealth Union)_ The Star Alliance member confirms that even more A350s will soon be winging their way to the city.

West Australian connections of Singapore Airlines are set for a welcome boost this week when a fourth flight from Perth to Singapore takes wing between the cities on 24^th November.

The latest arrival, unlike the existing trio of Boeing 787s, sees an Airbus A350 enter the mix, with each of its 40 regional business class seats delivering lie-flat comfort for the sub six-hour hop. 

The additional service moves to daily from the end of March, initially departing just four times a week.

The schedule from 24^th November, 2023 is as follows:

• SQ213 from Singapore to Perth departs every Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday at 7:20am, arriving into Perth at 12:35pm.
• On the return, SQ226 will bid farewell to Perth at 1:50pm those same four days, touching down into Changi at 7:10pm.

Come 31^st March, 2024, that will change to daily flights on the following:

• SQ213 from Singapore to Perth will see wheels up at 7:15am, with wheels down at 12:25pm.
• SQ226 will lift off from Singapore at 1:40pm, arriving at 7:10pm.

On top of that, from 31^st March, soon-to-be daily departure, SQ223/SQ214 will switch from a Boeing 787 to an Airbus A350 resulting in four additional business class seats on each flight.

In other good news for Perth, an all-new SilverKris lounge is primed to unlock its doors in early 2024 – and it’s a change that can’t come soon enough.

The shift will result in more than twice as much room for Singapore-bound flyers, with seating for some 140 passengers, moving out of its present cramped quarters and into the space that was formerly home to the Qantas International Business lounge.
