Xiamen Ailines to begin direct flights from Dalian to Singapore

Xiamen Airlines, now known in short as XiamenAir, begins its summer operations on 31 March 2013. One of the highlights in XiamenAir’s new flight schedules include thrice-weekly scheduled flights from Singapore to Dalian with a stopover in Xiamen for immediate immigration clearance.

Beginning 2 April 2013 (Tuesday), XiamenAir will fly direct from Dalian to Singapore at 2.15 pm with a stopover in Xiamen at 5.05 pm for outbound immigration clearance of about 1 hour before departing for Singapore at 6 pm and touching down in Singapore at 10.10 pm under flight code MF873. The flight will stop over in Singapore for one day before departing for Dalian on 4 April 2013 (Thursday) at 8.55 am under flight code MF874 with a stopover of 1 hour in Xiamen at 12.45 pm for inbound immigration clearance before arriving in Dalian at 4.35 pm.

The thrice-weekly scheduled flights on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays are operated by XiamenAir’s Boeing B737-800 aircraft. XiamenAir Singapore Town Office says that the new flights are provided as there is a market demand for conducive day-time daily flights to the northeastern Chinese city of Dalian.

Currently, passengers travelling to Dalian from Singapore have to check-in the night before an extremely-early weekly morning flight of Hainan Airlines to Dalian via Hefei.
