Singapore Airlines will add a fourth daily flight between Singapore and Manila from July 10, the airline said in a statement today.

The increase from three to four daily flights, operated by the Boeing 777 family of aircraft, will expand capacity between Singapore and Manila by more than 20%, it said.

"This has been made possible as a result of recent bilateral air services consultations between Singapore and the Philippines," it said.

The airline said flight SQ916 will depart Singapore at 1410hrs and arrive in Manila at 1745hrs.

The return flight SQ921 will depart Manila at 1850hrs and arrive in Singapore at 2220hrs, it said.

To give customers more flight options to suit their travel needs and to reduce transit times for onward departures from Singapore Changi Airport, Singapore Airlines will reschedule one of its present Manila services, it said.

The airline said flight SQ912 will be rescheduled to depart Singapore at 1210hrs and arrive in Manila at 1545hrs, while the return flight SQ919 will leave Manila at 1650hrs and arrive in Singapore at 2020hrs.

Singapore Airlines executive vice president marketing and the regions, Huang Cheng Eng said the frequency increase on this route underscored the strong and growing economic, business and tourism links between Singapore and the Philippines.

"It also improves the connectivity of Manila to the rest of the world," he said.

"The scheduling of the four services, to depart and arrive at various times during the day between the two cities, gives our customers more options to choose a flight which better suits their travel needs."
