Frequently Asked Questions
What alliance did SilkAir belong to?
SilkAir was a subsidiary of Singapore Airlines, a founding member of the Star Alliance. SilkAir has been merged into Singapore Airlines, with the integration completed in 2024. Former SilkAir aircraft were upgraded to full Singapore Airlines cabin standards and transferred to the mainline fleet.
Where did SilkAir operate from?
SilkAir operated from Singapore Changi Airport (SIN) as its sole hub. The airline served regional destinations across Southeast Asia, South Asia, and Northern Australia that were considered too thin for mainline Singapore Airlines wide-body service.
What cabin classes did SilkAir offer?
SilkAir offered Business Class and Economy Class on its Boeing 737 MAX and Airbus A320 fleet. The cabin product was a step below Singapore Airlines' mainline offerings. Following the merger, these routes now receive full Singapore Airlines cabin service.
What happened to SilkAir checked baggage policies?
SilkAir offered generous baggage allowances consistent with Singapore Airlines standards. Economy passengers received 30 kg of checked baggage, and Business Class received 40 kg. These allowances have been maintained under the Singapore Airlines brand on former SilkAir routes.
Why was SilkAir merged into Singapore Airlines?
Singapore Airlines merged SilkAir into its mainline operations to create a consistent premium product across all routes. The merger involved retrofitting Boeing 737 MAX aircraft with new Business Class lie-flat seats and Singapore Airlines' inflight entertainment system. The transition was completed in 2024, and the SilkAir brand was retired.
