Coimbatore, Oct. 22

In a move that would give a boost to tourism in South East Asia and to travel to the US from western Tamil Nadu and parts of Kerala, SilkAir, the regional airline arm of Singapore Airlines, will launch direct flights between Coimbatore and Singapore from October 28. Coimbatore will be the third city to be brought under SilkAir’s network in the South, after Thiruvananthapuram and Kochi. Speaking to newspersons, Mr Ramachandran Menon, Manager, SilkAir, India, and Mr L. Ravindran, Manager, Coimbatore, said the new service would meet a long felt need since there was no direct flight linking Coimbatore and Singapore. The service would provide for over 700 seats every week. The flight will leave Singapore every Wednesday, Friday and Sunday at 2130 hrs and will arrive at Coimbatore at 2320 hrs (local time). Flights would depart from Coimbatore every Monday, Thursday and Saturday at 0025 hrs and reach Singapore at 0730 hrs (local time) the same day.
