SIA says that the new five-times weekly morning services will offer more connectivity options for passengers travelling from Hyderabad to and beyond Singapore
Replacing services by its low-cost subsidiary Scoot to Hyderabad, Singapore Airlines (SIA) will increase its Hyderabad-Singapore services from seven-times weekly to 12-times weekly, as part of its 20th anniversary celebrations of commencement of operations to Hyderabad.
In a press statement, the airline says that on October 29, 2003, SIA began offering services to the Hyderabad operations. To celebrate, SIA said that its services from the city would be increased from October 29, 2023.
The statement says that the new five-times weekly morning services will offer more connectivity options for passengers travelling from Hyderabad to and beyond Singapore. This service will be operated by SIA’s Boeing 737-8s with 154 passenger capacity, including 10 in Business Class and 144 in Economy Class.
The airline says that the daily night services will be operated by SIA’s Airbus A350s, which are fitted with 303 seats, 40 in Business Class and 263 in Economy. As a result, Hyderabad will be entirely served by SIA’s full-service product.

“As we celebrate 20 years of serving the Hyderabad market, we are delighted to announce an increase in our weekly operations to the city. This milestone reaffirms our dedication to the local market, and we are excited to provide even greater connectivity and exceptional full-service travel experiences as we forge ahead into the future,” says Sy Yen Chen, General Manager, India, Singapore Airlines.
The statement adds that the increase in A350 operations on the Hyderabad-Singapore route also opens up a wider range of opportunities for SIA Cargo. The aircraft’s wider body will allow for uplift of large cargo consignments that need to be loaded on skids. Additionally, the aircraft’s temperature-control capabilities are essential for certain kinds of temperature-sensitive cargo.
The airline adds that with effect from October 29, SIA will operate 96-weekly flights to and from eight Indian cities, namely Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kochi, Kolkata and Mumbai, while Scoot will operate 44-weekly flights to and from six Indian cities, namely Amritsar, Chennai, Coimbatore, Thiruvananthapuram, Tiruchirappalli, and Visakhapatnam.
