Singapore Airlines too leaves Ctg
Staff Correspondent, Ctg
Silkair, the regional wing of Singapore Airlines, suspends its operation on Chittagong-Singapore route from today, airlines sources said.The suspension will come into effect after take-off of the airlines' final flight from Chittagong Shah Amanat International Airport at 2:00pm, sources added. Silkair introduced its service on the route via Yangon twice a week--Monday and Thursday--in March 2002. Business sources said fall in the number of passengers and relocation of companies to Dhaka from Chittagong are the reasons behind the suspension. Singapore Airlines is the latest to halt its service from Chittagong, sources said. Earlier, Phuket Air, a private Thai Airlines and Indian Airlines suspended their services. Phuket Air stopped its service on Chittagong-Bangkok route on June 2003 and Indian Airlines suspended its flights on Chittagong-Kolkata route early last year.
