Singapore Airlines (SIA) will launch nonstop flights between Singapore and London’s Gatwick Airport in June 2024, operating the five-times-weekly service with the long-haul variant of its Airbus A350-900 aircraft.
Subject to regulatory approval, Flight SQ310 will operate on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. The inaugural flight will depart Singapore for Gatwick Airport at 11:55 p.m. (local time) on June 21 and arrive in London at 6:25 a.m. (local time) on June 22.

The return leg, Flight SQ309, will operate from Gatwick Airport to Singapore on Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. The inaugural return flight will depart at 10:15 a.m. (local time) on June 22 and arrive in Singapore at 6:20 a.m. on June 23. The early morning arrival offers customers options to connect to SIA and Scoot flights to destinations across Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand.

SIA’s long-haul A350-900s feature 253 seats in three cabin classes: 42 in Business Class, 24 in Premium Economy Class, and 187 in Economy Class.

The addition of Gatwick increases the number of European destinations in the SIA network to 14, reflecting, according to an announcement, the carrier’s firm commitment to enhancing its connectivity to the region.

Dai Haoyu, acting senior vice president-marketing planning, said London has always been a very important market for the Singapore Airlines Group. With the introduction of this new service, he said, customers will have an additional flight to choose from when flying between Singapore and the UK. It also opens up additional travel options, said Haoyu, to other points in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region.
