General Sales Agent, Maple Aviation (S) Pte Ltd, has informed Sayacinta - Airpost today that two airlines are suspending flights to Singapore from September 2013.
Firstly, TransAsia Airways is suspending all commercial flights from Taipei Taoyuan to Singapore from 26 September 2013. The last TransAsia flight to and from Singapore will be on 25 September.
It is unclear what leads TransAsia Airways to cancel flights to Singapore from 26 September onwards in the midst of an increasing demand for Taipei travel. All marketing brochures of the airline including past and August 2013 Timetables are no longer available at the GSA office of TransAsia.
The airport office of TransAsia Airways in Changi Airport is closed. Latest Timetable copies cannot be collected.
Maple Aviation is arranging transfers of passengers affected by the TransAsia flight suspensions to other full-service airlines like Eva Air and China Airlines.
Secondly, Ethiopian Airlines which previously announced its plan to inaugurate scheduled flight to Singapore via Bangkok on 3 September 2013 has postponed its Singapore inaugural flight to an undisclosed date in the future.
Sayacinta - Airpost understood from Maple Aviation that the Ethiopian flight suspension decision came suddenly when the marketing staff in Singapore were beginning to market the inaugural flight of Ethiopian Airlines to other travel agents.
Changi Airport Group could not be reached for comments on both flight suspensions.
