NEW DELHI: Singapore Airlines will increase the number of flights from India in coming winter schedule starting from October and is also looking for opportunities to operate from new destinations.

"India is an important market for us, we are now operating 85 weekly flights from 10 cities but this winter we will increase the flight to 93. Our low-cost arm SilkAir will launch a new flight from Vizag from October 20," said Casey Ow Yong, Regional Vice President, West Asia and Africa.

Aiming to provide world class services to its premium class fliers, Singapore Airlines recently opened a new 'SilverKris Lounge' at Terminal 3 of the IGI airport here.

The lounge is designed for Singapore Airlines' first and business class passengers as well as PPS Club, KrisFlyer Elite Gold and Star Alliance Gold members, an airline official said.
