About 250 passengers entered Singapore yesterday morning after taking the first two flights under the expanded quarantine-free travel scheme for travellers vaccinated against Covid-19.
Flight SQ329 from the Netherlands, operated by Singapore Airlines, touched down at Changi Airport at about 6.35am. The Straits Times understands that around 80 of the passengers on board entered Singapore.
About an hour and a half later, SQ317 from London landed.
The first flight had departed from Amsterdam at about 11.30am local time, or 5.30pm Singapore time, on Tuesday.
The Straits Times team at Terminal 3, where the flight landed, noticed that those who arrived were mainly single travellers or couples.
There were at least three families with children. There was an equal mix of Asians and Caucasians.
Movement controls were tight at the arrival hall. Passengers were directed through an area cordoned off from the public.
