Singapore Airlines Set For Houston Lift-Off

The Boeing 777-300ER, fitted with the Singapore Airlines’ new luxurious cabin products in all three classes, will operate the new route. The new cabin products include the ultra-wide Business Class seat, configured in a 4-abreast, 1-2-1 configuration with every seat having direct access to the aisle. Seats in all three classes feature the new KrisWorld, with over 1,000 entertainment options, with full audio and video on demand, and a suite of office applications.

A variety of dining choices await customers departing from Houston, including American fare with a Texan influence such as biscuits and gravy, barbeque beef briskets, and broiled steak with fried eggs under the Airline’s Popular Local Fare Programme.

Houston is the fourth passenger city served by Singapore Airlines in the United States, after San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York. The four-times weekly service, via Moscow, provides the only direct air link between the Russian capital and Texas in Southwest USA.

Singapore Airlines Executive Vice-President Marketing and the Regions, Huang Cheng Eng, says the new route will strengthen the Airline’s presence in the United States.

“We are pleased to welcome Houston to Singapore Airlines’ growing network of destinations. Houston is the fourth largest city in the United States, and a key energy center. Its strategic location on the Gulf Coast, makes it an ideal gateway for the Southern USA to Singapore and Southeast Asia. We believe this new route will prove popular to both business and leisure travelers alike.”

Da har de 2 ruter til USA hvor de mellomlander i Europa.
En som går SIN-FRA-NYC , og nå denne som går SIN-MOW-HOU.
Synd at ingen asiatiske eller amerikanske selskap kan se mulighetene i å legge en lignende rute via OSL.

[Tommy777]

Litt rart, ja.. Vi vet jo at cargo etterspørselen til OSL er meget stor

SQ hadde jo SIN-AMS-ORD før SARS, og SIN-xxx-LAS.

[Tommy777]

Visste de hadde vært på ORD, men ikke LAS

I følge Dag, hadde SQ hatt store problemer med å få dragen igjennom tollen i Houston i går LOL... Papirarbeidet var visst ikke i orden..

En skikkelig velkomst a la DHS.
