Singapore Airlines to operate five times weekly service from Singapore Changi Airport to Stockholm

Upon arrival at Stockholm’s Arlanda Airport, the aircraft was greeted by a water cannon salute and a gate hold event was held to celebrate the arrival of the inaugural flight.

Stockholm, the most populous Nordic city, is a vibrant capital with something to offer business and leisure travellers of all ages. From soaking in the rich culture of Gamla Stan, or the Old Town, to museums, to the outdoors, visitors will have varied options to suit their travel interests and needs. Venturing further North, Sweden also has much to offer with its picturesque views of the majestic Northern Lights in the Swedish Lapland.

With advanced technology and superior operating efficiency, the A350-900 offers customers an improved travelling experience with features such as higher ceilings, larger windows, an extra wide body and lighting designed to reduce jetlag. The aircraft are fitted with 253 seats, 42 of which are in Business Class, 24 in Premium Economy Class and 187 in Economy Class.

The A350 will form a key part of the Airline’s fleet in the years ahead, and has enabled introduction of new services such as non-stop flights between Singapore and San Francisco, helping to boost connectivity to and through the Singapore hub.

The new services are also part of the joint venture agreement between Singapore Airlines and Star Alliance partner Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) that took effect in 2013 covering flights between Scandinavia and Singapore. SAS has also commenced codeshare on the new services.
