More choice and more capacity for Adelaide travellers as Singapore Airlines goes 12 times weekly

Adelaide’s longest-serving international airline, Singapore Airlines (SIA), will deliver more capacity and more choice, with 12 weekly flights offering more than 1,300 additional seats into and out of South Australia.

SIA currently operates 10 weekly flights between the South Australian capital and Singapore and this will increase to 12 weekly flights from 25 October 2026. 

These additional services will provide a further 1,328 seats each week into and out of Adelaide, to support strong international travel demand, offering greater choice and capacity to the rest of the world through Singapore Changi Airport. 

Singapore is currently South Australia’s seventh largest market in terms of visitor expenditure, and growing numbers of holiday making visitors.

Adelaide Airport Managing Director, Brenton Cox, said: “This is amazing news from Singapore Airlines - it is the first time an international airline has flown 12 flights a week year-round out of Adelaide.

“Singapore Airlines has been an incredible supporter of the Adelaide market for more than four decades and was a ground breaker in providing South Australians with one-stop connections to Europe and the UK. Now they offer more options than ever before to fly to Singapore and connect with their significant global network.

“It’s also significant for our local exporters who rely on Singapore Airlines’ regular services to reach key markets.”

SIA Regional Vice President South West Pacific, Foo Chai Woo, said: “As South Australia’s longest serving International Airline, Singapore Airlines has connected South Australian people and places to Singapore and the rest of the world for 42 years. 

“Building on our legacy of strongly supporting the South Australian Market, and with robust travel demand into and out of Adelaide, we’re happy to offer our customers even more choice and more capacity with 12 weekly services from December 2026.”

South Australian Minister for State Development, Chris Picton, said: “South Australia continues to buck global trends as we welcome more international flights, more students and travellers, and break export records.
 
During my recent trade mission to Southeast Asia, I took the opportunity to reaffirm the importance of Singapore Airlines direct service to Adelaide and it is extremely pleasing to see these additional year-round flights now come online.
 
They will boost our cultural and economic ties with Singapore while opening up even more opportunities for South Australian businesses to access global markets.
 
South Australia is now more connected to the world through direct international flights than ever before and we're proud to support stronger links between South Australia, Singaporea and beyond.
 
South Australian Minister for Tourism, Emily Bourke, said: “Singapore Airlines has been flying into South Australia for over four decades, but now they’ll be operating more flights than any international carrier ever before. It shows how important this route is in connecting our cities.
 
“This additional capacity demonstrates the growing appeal of our state as a visitor destination and the strong growth we’ve seen in the Asian market in the previous year.
 
“More seats mean more opportunities to attract international visitors, support local tourism and showcase everything South Australia has to offer to travellers from across Asia and the world.”

Flights will be available to book from 24 July 2026 subject to regulatory approvals. For more information and to make your booking, visit SingaporeAir.com or contact your travel agent.
