Singapore Airlines, one of the world’s best carriers, is betting on the Manila-Singapore corridor to grow rapidly from this year onward on the continuous expansion of the market for the route.

In turn, Singapore Airlines added a new daily flight for its Manila-Singapore service for the first time since 2009.

Singapore Airlines head of marketing and PR for the Philippines Marie Aiza Soller-Garcia said the flight raises the Manila-Singapore frequency to five times daily. This puts the airline ahead of its competitors in the market.
