9W has been given permission to start services to SIN from MAA and DEL. The MAA-SIN service is expected to start in Nov. and the DEL-SIN to be started at a later date.

Could you please provide a link if your information is based on an article on the web. What equipment will be used on these routes, and what is the frequency and timing?

This is excellent. Good competition on the MAA-SIN between AI, IC, SQ and 9W!
I guess the MAA flight would be a day time run with utilizing the 738 coming in from BOM which sits on the ground all day now.

How much capacity can MAA-SIN handle? I know it is a top revenue route but now you have four or five airlines competeting on it. With the acquisition of new aircraft AI has been able to go daily on the route and IC now flies it twice a day. I'm not sure about SQ's schedules but I'd assume maybe they go double daily also with a 747 possibly on one of the flights.

Quoting Kkfla737 (Reply 11): How much capacity can MAA-SIN handle?
The tap never runs dry in this route! And best of all it has two distinct segments, the high yieild pax to Oz,Far East and US West Coast/Canada and the low yield but high volume Labour/VFR traffic. Right now most of the former is creamed off by SQ, while IC and AI compete for the latter, but AI feed into a lot of QF flights as well. Now 9W I am sure will have a marketing agreement not just with QF, but may be a couple of other Far East carriers as well- may be CX and KE!
