Singapore Airlines Operating 14 Flights Per Week to Melbourne, Australia

(27 Oct 2021) Singapore Airlines has welcomed plans to reopen the Victorian international border to fully-vaccinated Australian citizens, permanent residents and eligible non-citizens from 1 November 2021.

The airline currently operates 14-weekly passenger flights between Singapore and Melbourne.

“This is another welcome step on the road to recovery and we are pleased to reconnect Victoria with the world,” said Mr Louis Arul, Singapore Airlines Regional Vice President South West Pacific. “Opening Victoria’s international border for eligible passengers provides another avenue for Australians stranded overseas to come home, with Singapore Airlines offering 31 flights a week to Sydney and Melbourne, two major Australian gateways. We look forward to reconnecting families and loved ones over the coming weeks and months ahead, and continuing to support all levels of government in their efforts to reopen Australia’s borders in a safe, scalable and sustainable way.”

Bookings on the Singapore-Melbourne and Melbourne-Singapore route are available via various sales channels for eligible customers on flights tagged as “For Eligible Passengers Only” (FEPO).

Eligibility to travel on these services is determined by the Australian Government and one must meet the following criteria:

• Be an Australian citizen or permanent resident, and

• Have been fully-vaccinated with a TGA approved or recognised vaccine, and

• Have a vaccine certificate that meets the Australian Government’s authenticity and verification requirements.

Or

• Be an immediate family member of an Australian citizen or permanent resident, or

• Is a non-Australian citizen or permanent resident, and

• Holds a valid visa and a travel restriction exemption, and

• Is fully-vaccinated with a TGA approved or recognised vaccine, and

• Has a vaccine certificate that meets the Australian Government’s authenticity and verification requirements.

Customers are encouraged to confirm their eligibility to travel to Australia uncapped on these flights.

Singapore Airlines has said it will support customers holding existing bookings for flights to Melbourne from 1 November 2021 onwards, assisting with confirming eligibility for them to travel on the new FEPO flights or support rebooking to a capped service.
