Decoupling of Silkair DRW/CNS services from 30 May 2016

[dajop]

Routes online have reported that all DRW and CNS services will be terminating services (no longer transitting each other), effective 30 May 2016.

This will see non-stop services in both directions for both cities, 5xweekly SIN-DRW and 3xweekly SIN-CNS.

That makes sense as it is a pain to do DRW-CNS-SIN. The load must be pretty good for those flights then.

SQ/MI group must be the the non-Australian airline that serves the most Australian cities, especially with addition to CBR later this year.

They have 8 cities, as does NZ (NZ has MCY and OOL whilst SQ/MI will have DRW and CBR instead. But if you include the fully owned Scoot, who flies to OOL, then yes they do. In fact I think once CBR comes online SQ/MI/TZ will serve the same number of destinations within Australia with international flights as the QF/JQ group does (with CBR instead of TSV).

Never realised how well served we are by SQ group!

Good news on the decoupling of the DRW and CNS flights, must be quite a bit more traffic DRW-SIN than I thought, to justify 5 flights a week as opposed to CNS only getting 3 a week. I did check the DRW international departure schedules and it looks like 3K have 4 flights per week vs MI only 3 flights per week. Interesting that Sunday is the only day where both 3K and MI have flights departing for SIN on the same day, all the rest of the week is either a 3K or a MI service.

Dont forget to not only include airports, also include frequency.

SQ : BNE- SIN 3 times per day, 4 times per day a Christmas.

QF : BNE-SIN one per day
