Immigrant Life in Singapore: At 10:35 AM on June 16, SilkAir flight MI8334 landed smoothly at Sanya Phoenix International Airport, marking the successful launch of the "Sanya-Singapore" international route.
It is reported that the "Sanya-Singapore" route is the first international route for SilkAir in the Hainan region. The route is operated by Boeing 737-800 aircraft and flies every Tuesday and Saturday. The scheduled departure time from Sanya is 11:00 AM, arriving in Singapore at 2:00 PM; the scheduled departure time from Singapore is 7:00 AM, arriving in Sanya at 10:00 AM. SilkAir conducted detailed market research beforehand, and its marketing department is very confident about the development of this route.
Xu Zhenling, Vice Mayor of Sanya, stated that the opening of this route will build an air corridor for travelers between Sanya and coastal cities in Southeast Asia, effectively promoting political, economic, and cultural exchanges between Sanya and Singapore. Furthermore, as Singapore is an important transit hub for international flights, the launch of this direct flight will greatly facilitate tourists from Europe and America to transit through Singapore to Sanya for tourism, further boosting the development of the civil aviation and tourism industries in both regions.
Currently, Phoenix Airport has opened 6 regional and international scheduled routes, including Taipei, Hong Kong, Seoul, Osaka, and Singapore. This has laid a solid foundation for responding to the national "Belt and Road" strategy and building Sanya into a strategic pivot for maritime cooperation.
