Singapore Airlines Cargo Adds New Services And Frequencies To Its Freighter Network

Singapore Airlines Cargo has added Jakarta to its freighter network and increased
its weekly frequencies to Auckland, Shanghai, Sydney and Xiamen.

The new once-weekly Boeing 747-400 freighter service to Jakarta’s Soekarno-
Hatta International Airport, commenced on 5 September 2011. This new freighter
service will be increased to twice weekly from Northern Winter 2011. The
freighter service to Jakarta complements the belly-hold space available on
Singapore Airlines’ 49 weekly passenger flights between Singapore and Jakarta.

From 15 September, this will be increased to 56 flights per week.

Indonesia is a major exporter of garments, footwear, food products, machinery
and electronic devices between Jakarta, Singapore and the rest of the world. The
additional freight capacity will provide shippers more choices and faster
movement of their cargo to markets around the world.

Last month, SIA Cargo increased its frequency to Xiamen from three to five times
weekly, and frequency to Shanghai from seven to eight times weekly.

Frequency to Sydney was increased from four to seven times weekly, while
Auckland frequency increased from three to five times weekly. These additional
services were mounted mainly to cater to increased import demand into the South
West Pacific region.

“These new and additional freighter services are timely and are in line with our
policy of matching capacity with demand. They further enhance our network
coverage of over 600 flights a week to 72 cities in 37 countries, providing our
customers more choices of flights to ship their freight,” said Mr Tan Tiow Kor,
Senior Vice President Sales and Marketing.
