SilkAir has announced its Singapore-Laos summer schedule for 2018, which aims to provide better connectivity for European travellers.
“After several months of negotiations by SilkAir with Lao Airports Authority for a better slot schedule into Luang Prabang, I am glad to confirm that effective 26 March (through 25 October) our schedule from Singapore to Laos (has been appended),” said SilkAir spokesman, Jericho Quek.
Starting 26 March, SilkAir MI 787 will depart Singapore at 09:00 and arrive in Luang Prabang at 11:10. The flight leaves Luang Prabang at 12:00 and arrives in Vientiane at 13:00. SilkAir will continue operating the route three days a week on Monday, Thursday, and Saturday (1, 4, 6).
“This new schedule will allow SilkAir to provide better connectivity from Europe & South West Pacific regions to Luang Prabang,” Mr Quek said. “We hope this schedule change will help to bring more tourists into Luang Prabang.”
He added, “The circular routing from Singapore will arrive in Luang Prabang first, and depart to Singapore via Vientiane.”
SilkAir MI 788 currently flies three times a week (1, 4, 6) from Changi Airport to Vientiane and continues to Luang Prabang. The flight departs Singapore at 13:25, and arrives at Wattay at 15:15. After a stop, the flight reaches Luang Prabang at 17:00.
