West Air, Hainan Airlines' Chongqing-based low-cost subsidiary, is launching thrice-weekly scheduled flights between Chongqing and Singapore from 4 February 2016. Its first flight to Chongqing from Singapore is on 5 February 2016. West Air is the first low-cost airline to establish a low-cost flight link between Chongqing and Singapore. Passengers do not need to transit anymore in Kuala Lumpur for AirAsia's flight to Chongqing.
On 4 February 2016, West Air flight PN6355 departs from Chongqing for Singapore at 6.35 pm, arrives in Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 1 at 11.35 pm before leaving Singapore at 12.35 am on 5 February and arriving in Chongqing at 5.05 am under PN6356.
The outbound flight from Chongqing to Singapore, West Air's first international destination, takes place on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays while the outbound flight from Singapore to Chongqing is on Thursdays, Fridays and Mondays.
Inaugural flight fare starts from 144 Singapore Dollars excluding taxes and any surcharge. Electronic tickets can be purchased at travel agents and airport counters of West Air in China while international customers can only purchase the tickets at Chinese language-based tuniu.com using MasterCard.
The entry of West Air also highlights the return of the HNA Group's passenger flights to Singapore Changi Airport. However, West Air does not have sales agents and branch office in Singapore since its parent company Hainan Airlines withdrew flight services to Haikou, Taiyuan and Hefei from Singapore in August 2015.
HNA Group's other member Lucky Air suspended flights to Guiyang and Kunming from Singapore three months ago while another member Hong Kong Airlines withdrew passenger flights a few years ago while maintaining weekly cargo scheduled flights between Singapore and Hong Kong.
