We are pleased to increase our services to Kolkata with this new generation aircraft by adding a weekly frequency from March 2020,” said Senior Vice President Marketing Planning, Tan Kai Ping.
In addition to Kolkata, SIA operates to five other points in India - Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Mumbai and New Delhi. Scoot, SIA’s low-cost subsidiary, operates to seven points in India. These are Amritsar, Chennai, Coimbatore, Hyderabad, Trivadrum, Tiruchirappalli and Visakhapatnam.
