At the moment Silkair operate 3 weekly return services to Darwin from Singapore, one return to Cairns and 2 services which traverse Singapore - Darwin - Cairns - Singapore. For Darwin passenger this means that while there are 5 weekly flights from Singapore there are only three direct flights on the return journey, plus another two via Cairns which more than doubles the journey duration to 10 hours
As a vote of confidence in both the Darwin and Cairns markets, Silkair will from 30 May operate five return flights to Darwin and three return flights to Cairns each week. Combined this is an increase from six to eight flights and greatly more convenient to all passengers.
To Darwin, Silkair will operate two red-eye flights from Singapore each week, with the remaining three weekly flights in daylight hours.
