Lao Airlines halts direct Singapore-Laos route again

Laos’ national carrier Lao Airlines will halt direct Laos-Singapore flights from Mar 25 due to operational reasons.

In a Facebook update on Monday (Mar 12), the airline said on its website it will resume flight schedules “as soon as it is ready for operation upon further notice”.

This is the second time that direct flights between the two countries have been halted, and comes just five months after Lao Airlines relaunched direct Singapore-Lao flight services in late-October last year.

The move also comes as Laos declared 2018 “Visit Laos Year”, a tourism campaign that could boost the economy of the landlocked country.
