Singapore Airlines launches Iloilo-Singapore flights, expands services

Singapore Airlines expressed optimism about growth in the Philippine market this year, attributing increased travel interest to a growing economy and more people seeking leisure destinations abroad.

Liwei Tan, General Manager for the Philippines, announced that Singapore Airlines will launch direct flights from Iloilo to Singapore starting April 14 through its low-cost subsidiary Scoot, flying four times weekly.

The airline operates flights from Manila, Clark, Davao, and Cebu, with plans to further expand services based on market reception in Iloilo.

Tan highlighted Iloilo's potential as a tourist destination with nearby beaches and convenient access to global travel options, serving both Filipino travelers seeking international destinations and Singaporean tourists looking for leisure opportunities.

To attract more passengers, Singapore Airlines partnered with EastWest Bank for discounted getaway packages and cash rebates on SIA-branded Mastercard credit cards from February 15 to December 31.
