From June 1, Singapore Airlines will fly three times daily between Singapore and Beijing.  This is an increase in capacity from the current twice-daily flights, or an additional 288 seats a day, and provides business and leisure travellers with more choices of flight times.

The new third-daily SQ822 will leave Singapore at 1650hrs and arrive in Beijing's Capital International Airport at 2250hrs on the same night.  On the return, SQ821 will depart Beijing at 2355hrs and arrive at Singapore Changi Airport at 0605hrs the next morning. The flight will be operated using B777-200 aircraft.

With the launch of this additional frequency to Beijing, Singapore Airlines and SilkAir will operate 120 flights weekly to the main cities of Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Nanjing, Shenzhen, Hong Kong, Xiamen, Chengdu, Chongqing, Fuzhou and Kunming.
