Emirates is set to cut its EK404/405 service between Melbourne and Singapore.
The airline confirmed the move in a statement.
“Emirates will determine the termination date of the EK404/405 Singapore-Melbourne service after receiving the final assessment of the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS).
“When the termination date is finalised, Emirates will communicate changes to affected passengers and offer them alternative travel arrangements,” a spokesperson said.
“Emirates will continue to connect Singapore to Dubai with four-daily flights and Melbourne to Dubai nonstop with two-daily A380 flights. We will also continue to offer our customers direct connectivity between Melbourne and Singapore via our codeshare partner Qantas’ double daily flights.”
There are currently five airlines operating flights between Melbourne and Singapore. Singapore Airlines five times a day, Qantas twice daily, Emirates, Turkish Airlines and Scoot all operate once daily.
