Singapore Airlines (SIA) will launch daily flights between Singapore and Hangzhou, China on 1 June 2026, subject to regulatory approvals. The airline will operate the medium-haul variant of its Airbus A350-900 aircraft, which is configured with 303 seats in two cabin classes: 40 in Business Class and 263 in Economy Class.
The inaugural flight, SQ838, is scheduled to depart Singapore at 1740hrs (local time) on 1 June 2026 and arrive in Hangzhou at 2250hrs (local time) the same day. The return flight, SQ839, is scheduled to depart Hangzhou at 0010hrs (local time) on 2 June 2026 and arrive in Singapore at 0510hrs (local time) the same day.
SIA’s daily services will complement the daily flights to the city by Scoot, the Airline’s low-cost subsidiary. This will be SIA’s ninth destination in China, after Beijing Daxing. Together, the SIA Group serves 22 destinations in mainland China. From 1 June 2026, SIA will operate to nine destinations in mainland China: Beijing (Capital), Beijing (Daxing), Chengdu, Chongqing, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Xiamen. Scoot will operate to 15 destinations in mainland China: Changsha, Fuzhou, Guangzhou, Haikou, Hangzhou, Kunming, Nanjing, Nanning, Qingdao, Shantou, Shenyang, Tianjin, Wuhan, Xi’an, and Zhengzhou.
Dai Haoyu, Senior Vice President Marketing Planning, Singapore Airlines, said: “The launch of services to Hangzhou caters to demand from both leisure and business travellers to China. This new daily service deepens our presence in a key market for the SIA Group, and offers customers greater flexibility, connectivity, and choice when travelling between Singapore and China, and the wider region.”
Located in China’s Yangtze River Delta, Hangzhou is a leading tourist destination and business hub. It is home to the UNESCO‑listed West Lake, the Longjing tea plantations, and historic temples and pagodas. The city is also a centre for technology and e‑commerce, and a key gateway to Zhejiang province.
