Vladivostok Air connects Singapore to the Russian Far East

Vladivostok Air connects Singapore to the Russian Far East

SINGAPORE, 21 October 2011 – Singapore Changi Airport today welcomes the arrival of Russian carrier Vladivostok Air. One of Russia’s most established airlines, Vladivostok Air will operate twice-weekly services between Singapore and Vladivostok via Hong Kong. Vladivostok, in the Russian Far East, is the ninth new city link for Changi this year.

With growing trade and tourism ties between Singapore and Russia, the addition of Vladivostok Air to Changi’s network of airlines comes at an opportune time. Since the launch of the Russia-Singapore Business Forum (RSBF)1 in 2006, bilateral trade between the two countries has more than doubled to reach S$5.2 billion2 in 2010.

With several Singapore-based companies already establishing inroads to the Russian Far East, Changi’s new connection to Vladivostok will stimulate further business links between Singapore and Vladivostok as well as the greater Primorsky Krai region – the largest economy in the Russian Far East.

Passenger traffic between Singapore and Russia reached an all-time-high of 65,000 in 2010, representing a 31% growth year-on-year. Singapore also welcomed 55,000 Russian visitors3 in 2010, an increase of 9% compared to 2009. During the first eight months of this year, air traffic movements and visitor arrivals from Russia increased by a further 34% and 5% respectively compared to the same period last year.

Vladivostok Air will operate the A320 aircraft in a two-class configuration on this route. The service will depart Vladivostok International Airport on Tuesday and Friday mornings and arrive in Changi Airport at 1820 hours on the same day. The return flight will depart Changi at 2010 hours and arrive in Vladivostok the following morning. The flight schedule is as follows:

Vladivostok Air’s new service introduces a new holiday destination for Singapore residents. For Russian Far East travellers, a potential market of 6.5 million, Singapore is not only a destination for tourism, medical and education activities, but an excellent transit point to destinations in Southeast Asia and Southwest Pacific.

Mr Yam Kum Weng, Changi Airport Group’s Executive Vice President for Air Hub Development, said, “With the introduction of world-class tourism offerings in Singapore, we are seeing more Russian visitors twinning Singapore with another Southeast Asian destination to create fun-filled ‘city-plus-beach’ holiday experiences. With its extensive network and flight options to Southeast Asia, Changi Airport is a convenient gateway for Russian travellers to reach many renowned resort destinations such as Bintan, Bali and Phuket.

“Vladivostok Air’s entry into the Singapore market is therefore timely to serve the growing demand of Russian travellers wanting to explore Singapore and other parts of Southeast Asia. We look forward to working closely with the airline to sustain and grow this important link between Russia and Singapore.”

September 2, 2011, Hong Kong – Ms Angela Gittens, Director-General of Airports Council International (ACI) spoke at a conference organized by the Aerospace Forum Asia in Hong Kong today.

Senior executives from the aviation industry including Mr. Stanley Hui, CEO of Airport Authority Hong Kong (AAHK) and Mr. John Slosar, CEO of Cathay Pacific Airways attended the conference together with experts from local concern groups and economists to review arguments for and against the construction of a third runway and associated facilities proposed by AAHK in the Hong Kong International Airport Master Plan 2030.

Ms Gittens started the speech by highlighting the social and economic benefits that travel and tourism industry brings to the society. She then presented ACI’s forecast which showed that Asia-Pacific has recorded, and will continue to record, the strongest growth in both passenger and cargo throughput comparing to other regions in the world. Hong Kong will benefit from the high GDP growth of China and is forecast to reach 100 million passenger throughput by year 2027.

At the same time, Hong Kong faces keen competition from neighboring airports for originating and destination traffic, transit traffic as well as cargo services. Competition also comes from other transport modes, particularly high speed rail. To stay competitive, Ms Gittens suggested that Hong Kong should build capacity to cope with the air traffic growth before the traffic is diverted to other airports.

Ms Gittens added that for any development to be sustainable, it requires the reconciliation of environmental, social and economic demands, the three pillars of sustainability. Aircraft noise, greenhouse gas emissions and local air quality are some of the key areas to be considered regarding environmental concerns. On the subject of greenhouse gas management, Ms Gittens said that ACI has been working closely with the International Civil Aviation Organization in setting energy efficiency goals whereby carbon neutral growth is to be achieved from 2020 and absolute carbon reduction of 50% by 2050.

Ms Gittens concluded her speech with the following message, “Our industry’s growth is inevitable, the question is which airport operators will step up to provide the capacity to meet demand.”

Changi Airport welcomes inaugural Zhengzhou-Singapore flight

SINGAPORE, 27 March 2011 – Changi Airport Group (CAG) and the Henan Civil Aviation Development and Construction Committee (HCADCC) today marked a significant milestone in their cooperation as the inaugural flight connecting Zhengzhou to Singapore arrived at Changi Airport Terminal 1 this afternoon.

The inaugural flight from Zhengzhou, the capital of Henan Province, follows the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding by CAG and HCADCC in November 2010 to develop air connectivity between Singapore and cities in Henan.

Xiamen Airlines will operate the daily Zhengzhou-Xiamen-Singapore flight on a 169- seater B738 aircraft in a two-class configuration. The details are as follows:

Xiamen Airlines already has two daily services to Singapore – from Tianjin (via Xiamen) and Hangzhou (via Fuzhou). The addition of Zhengzhou to Changi’s network brings to six the number of new city links to China established since January 2010, following Guilin, Shantou, Hefei, Qingdao and Nanning.

Passenger traffic between Singapore and China has shown promising signs of growth. In 2010, some 3.38 million passengers travelled between the two countries, an increase of 16% over 2009. In particular, traffic between Singapore and secondary cities in China grew 22% over the same period. With the addition of Xiamen Airlines’ flights to Zhengzhou, some 430 weekly scheduled flights will connect Changi Airport to 26 Chinese cities, reinforcing Singapore’s position as the most connected Southeast Asian city to China.

Changi Airport Group’s Chief Executive Officer, Lee Seow Hiang said, “We congratulate Xiamen Airlines on its inaugural flight from Zhengzhou to Singapore. This would not have been possible without the strong support of The People’s Government of Henan Province, Xiamen Airlines and Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport. We look forward to deepening our partnership with the Henan Civil Aviation Development and Construction Committee to promote sustainable traffic growth between Singapore and Henan.”

Apart from having one of the fastest growing economies among China’s six Central Provinces (Anhui, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Jianxi and Shanxi), Henan is home to attractions such as the Shaolin Temple and the Yellow River. “With the connection to Zhengzhou, Singaporeans will now have the opportunity to visit the Henan region, which is rich in cultural and tourism attractions,” added Mr Lee.

Besides establishing direct flights between Singapore and Henan, CAG and HCADCC will work together to support airlines and promote air routes. Both parties will also support their respective tourism authorities in promoting bilateral tourism flows and strengthening tourism links through joint marketing efforts.
