Qatar Airways pursues rapid expansion in Singapore after the first A350 lands at Changi
Qatar Airways is pursuing rapid expansion in the Singapore market as Singapore Changi becomes only the third airport in the world with A350 service. Qatar introduced A350 service on Doha-Singapore on 11-May-2015 and will be deploying three of its initial fleet of five A350s on the route by Aug-2015.
Qatar is also introducing a third daily flight to Singapore. The combination of the new third daily frequency and up-gauging the existing two flights from 787-8s to A350-900s will result in a 67% increase in seat capacity for Qatar in the highly competitive Singapore market.
Premium seat capacity will increase by 145% as Qatar seeks to raise its share of the Singapore corporate market. The additional capacity will enable Qatar to continue increasing its share of the Singapore-Europe market but also become a significant player in the Singapore-North America market as the new third daily flight improves connection times from North America.
