Singapore Airlines has arrived in Sweden. On 30 May the Star Alliance carrier began five times weekly service from Singapore (SIN) to Stockholm Arlanda (ARN) via Moscow Domodedovo. The 9,651-kilometre route will be flown by the airline’s A350-900s. This is the first route to be served at the Swedish airport using this aircraft type. Jonas Abrahamsson, President and CEO of Swedavia, said: “The new route to Singapore is the result of several years of intense work, and it is a highly desired destination.
The route is crucial in enabling business travellers to reach markets in Asia easily and also provides potential for greater cargo traffic between the two countries. It is a strategically important intercontinental route in Stockholm Arlanda’s development to be the leading airport in Scandinavia by 2020.” Singapore Airlines now serves 15 destinations in Europe across 11 countries.
