Restarting on 19 November, the return of the double-decked beauty follows an easing of travel restrictions for fully vaccinated travellers by the Singaporean authorities. The introduction of a Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) scheme allows quarantine-free travel for fully vaccinated travellers between Singapore and seven European countries, including the UK, Denmark, Germany, France and Netherlands.
Singapore Airlines currently operates flights into both Manchester and Heathrow, however, flight SQ317 departing Heathrow will be the designated quarantine-free flight under the VTL scheme and will provide a massive boost for the airline and passengers.
Singapore Airlines' UK & Ireland general manager, Mohamed Rafi Mar said: "The return of the Singapore Airlines’ A380 to the skies is a positive step towards international travel recovery. By bringing the aircraft back to the UK, we are delighted to offer our passengers enhanced travel options between London and Singapore." This will also be the first long-haul scheduled route for Singapore Airlines A380 since the pandemic caused the global travel demand to collapse and border controls instigated.
