(22 Feb 2022)  British Airways’ first passenger flight between Singapore and Sydney since April 2020, will take to the sky on 28 March 2022.

The daily stopover service will allow customers to travel to and from Singapore to Sydney.

Flights BA15 and BA16 will be operated with Boeing 787-9 aircraft.

After arriving at Changi Airport from London Heathrow at 17:45, BA15 is scheduled to depart from Singapore at 19:25 and arrive in Sydney at 06:10.

The return flight, BA16, is timed to depart from Sydney at 15:50, arriving in Singapore at 21:05 before departing for London Heathrow at 22:35.

Noella Ferns, British Airways’ Head of Sales, Asia Pacific, said, “We can’t wait to welcome our customers back on board our Sydney flights reuniting families and friends with their loved ones after such a long time apart. The safety of our customers and colleagues has always been at the heart of everything we do. We know some customers won’t have flown for a long time, and we can assure them we have a range of COVID19 measures in place to provide stress and hassle-free travel.”

On Monday, the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) removed the pre-departure test requirements for all passengers transferring or transiting through Singapore.

Arriving passengers in Singapore no longer need to perform an on-arrival PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) test at Changi Airport and the seven-day ART testing after arrival has also ceased.

Instead, travellers have up to 24 hours from their entry into Singapore to take a supervised self-swab (SSS) Antigen Rapid Test (ART) at one of the testing centres located across Singapore.

To help customers navigate the changing entry requirement and facilitate a seamless journey, customers can choose to download the VeriFLY app before departing to London. The digital health app allows customers to combine their travel verification documents and COVID19 test results in one place and confirming their eligibility with a few simple steps.
