This new flight to Beijing Daxing allows SIA to offer an additional daily service to Beijing, a popular destination for both tourist and business travellers.”
Kong Yue, Vice President of Beijing Daxing International Airport, noted, “Singapore Airlines is the first foreign airline to operate services from Beijing Daxing International Airport to Singapore.
