Singapore Airlines to Increase European Flights and Launch New Madrid Route
TOKI AIR will operate charter flights to Sado Island in Niigata Prefecture, Japan.
A familiarization flight will be conducted on May 19. The aircraft will depart Niigata at 11:00 a.m. and arrive at Sado at 11:30 a.m. It is scheduled to depart Sado at 2:00 p.m. The backup date is May 20. No events will be held at Sado Airport.
A charter flight from Kobe will be operated on May 28. It is scheduled to depart Kobe at 10:00 a.m. and arrive at Sado at 11:30 a.m. Passengers will be limited to related parties such as travel agency staff.
This initiative is being carried out as part of efforts to resume passenger flights to Sado Island, Japan, for the first time in about 12 years, since the suspension of the scheduled Sado–Niigata route in April 2014. Based on an evaluation of the flight results, the airline aims to begin offering charter tour products for general travelers as early as this autumn.
