Singapore Airlines has announced that it will launch flights from Singapore to Perth under the Vaccinated Travel Lane arrangement a month ahead of schedule.
The flights will begin on February 5, 2022, and will be operated by the B787-10. According to Executive Traveller, there will be 17 weekly VTL flights from Singapore to Perth.
The VTL programme was first introduced in August 2021, and permits fully-vaccinated customers to travel quarantine-free to Singapore, provided they meet several criteria, and are tested both before departure and after arrival in Singapore.
Singapore Airlines stated:
“SIA will be adding Brisbane and Adelaide to our VTL network from 15 January 2022, Houston and Manchester from 19 January 2022 and Perth from 5 February 2022.”
It adds that customers wanting to return to Australia from Singapore should “ensure their eligibility to enter individual Australian states” before booking with the airline.
The VTL programme started with Germany, Brunei and Macao, and the list now includes Australia, Cambodia, Canada, Denmark, France, Indonesia, India, Italy, Malaysia, the Netherlands, South Korea, Spain, Sri Lanka, Switzerland, Thailand, Turkey, the UK, and the US.
