Singapore Airlines confirmed the new daily route on June 28 with fares starting at SGD 1,050 round-trip. Flights depart Singapore at 9:30 p.m. arriving Vancouver at 8:15 a.m. the next day. Return departures leave Vancouver at 11:45 a.m. reaching Singapore at 6:20 p.m. plus one day.
The carrier projects 180,000 passengers in the first year on this corridor. It complements existing services to other Canadian cities like Toronto. Codeshare partners Air Canada will offer seamless connections onward.
Background includes Singapore Airlines resuming full long-haul capacity after fleet upgrades completed in 2025. Vancouver airport expansions added new gates specifically for Asian carriers. Bilateral aviation agreements between Singapore and Canada facilitated the approval.
