According to Routes Online and Drukair Royal Bhutan Airlines Singapore office, Drukair is planning to extend its Singapore flight to Dili, the capital of East Timor, on 2 January 2020. It has revised its Singapore - Guwahati - Paro flight schedules commencing 2 January 2020.

Drukair Singapore office has confirmed that Drukair is negotiating with the relevant parties for the right to operate fifth freedom flight to Dili from Singapore using its Airbus A319 aircraft. In May 2020, the Bhutanese national flag carrier will receive its first Airbus A320neo in order to launch flights to Singapore and to another city in Asia.

Taking into account on the flight details on Routesonline.com and the Drukair web-site, the revised flight schedules of Drukair's flights to and from Guwahati and Singapore from 2 January 2020 are as follows:

Flight         Route                             Timings                             Days
KB540       Paro - Guwahati             11.20 am - 11.40 am         Wednesdays, Saturdays
KB540       Guwahati - Singapore    12.20 pm - 7.20 pm           Wednesdays, Saturdays
KB900       Singapore - Dili               2.30 am - 7.30 am            Thursdays, Sundays
KB901       Dili - Singapore               8.15 am - 11.15 am           Thursdays, Sundays
KB541       Singapore - Guwahati     12.15 pm - 2.15 pm          Thursdays, Sundays
KB541       Guwahati - Paro              2.55 pm - 4.15 pm            Thursdays, Sundays

The flight KB541 to Guwahati from Singapore at 12.15 pm is convenient timing for passengers from Singapore who yearn to depart at a better timing for Guwahati and Paro from Singapore. 

Currently, flight KB541 leaves Singapore for Guwahati at 6.30 am, which means many passengers have to sleep overnight at Changi Airport or check-in at the airport from 3.30 am onwards in order to board the flight. Counter closes at 5.40 am.

Drukair's flights to and from Dili are subject to the approval of the Singapore and East Timor civil aviation authorities.
