Singapore Airlines is the first international airline to fly to Canberra, Australia's capital and administrative city, on 20 September 2016. It is also the first foreign airline to operate flights from Canberra to Wellington on 21 September 2016. Flights are operated by the carrier's 266-seat retrofitted Boeing B777-200 aircraft fitted with 38 Business Class seats and 228 Economy Class seats under the new "Capital Express" service.
On 20 September 2016, flight SQ291 departs from Singapore for Canberra at 11 pm, transits in Canberra for Canberra-bound passengers to alight at 8.35 am on 21 September before picking up New Zealand-bound passengers and leaving Canberra at 9.50 am and arriving in Wellington at 3.05 pm.
On 21 September 2016, flight SQ292 departs from Wellington for Canberra at 8.15 pm, transits in Canberra at 10.05 pm before taking off from Canberra for Singapore at 11.30 pm and touching down in Singapore at 5.50 am on 22 September 2016.
The Singapore-Canberra route operates on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays while the Canberra-Wellington and Canberra-Singapore routes operate on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.
Mr Goh Choon Phong, the CEO of Singapore Airlines, comments the airline's new Capital Express service linking the three capitals "reflects the close ties between the three countries (Singapore, Australia and New Zealand)". The airline is confident the new services will appeal to leisure, government and corporate travellers.
