SINGAPORE-BASED airlines plying the Singapore-Hong Kong route have cut flight frequencies in response to weaker passenger demand, as a direct result of the ongoing protests in Hong Kong.
Singapore Airlines, Scoot and Jetstar Asia have been making adjustments to their respective flight operations. With Hong Kong protests now lasting for the seventh month, SIA has cut the number of daily flights to Hong Kong from seven to six, noted Brendan Sobie, an independent analyst at Sobie Aviation. Scoot said that in recent months it has been running on average 13 to 15 weekly flights to Hong Kong, from 21 previously. Jetstar Asia said it has reduced by about one return service per week, from the normal seven weekly flights.
