SIA suspends flights to London
Singapore Airlines (SIA) today suspended two flights inbound and outbound London as the the United Kingdom's public sector employees are planning strike action.
In a news flash on its website, the airline said its flight SQ308 (Singapore-London) and SQ319 (London-Singapore) have been cancelled.
SIA will contact the affected passengers for alternative travel arrangements.
"At this point, we expect to operate all other flights between Singapore and UK as scheduled," SIA said.
However, it said, the situation was fluid and "we seek our customers' understanding and offer our apologies in advance should there be further flight disruptions."
SIA said UK public sector employees' unions are planning strike action today. -
