SINGAPORE — Travellers on selected flights between Singapore and at least nine cities in Australia and New Zealand may benefit from shorter flight times, under a three-month trial to test a new way of routing international flights that also includes Indonesia.
A three-month trial will test a new way of routing international flights.
The trial is being conducted on 38 flight routes operated by national flag carriers Singapore Airlines , Garuda, Qantas and Air New Zealand. SIA said 15 of its flights are part of the trial, and the airline will explore the feasibility of adding more flight routes to it. The user-preferred routing trial comes after a collaboration agreement that CAAS signed in October 2023 with its air traffic management counterparts from Indonesia and New Zealand. Airservices Australia, which manages the country's airspace, joined later.
Iata's interim regional vice-president for North Asia and the Asia-Pacific, Dr Xie Xingquan, said the incremental improvements for individual flights will generate significant cumulative benefits, given the number of flights and cities involved in the trial.
