  • Silkair to launch services to Laos

    Exciting news!

    "SilkAir prepares to launch Luang Prabang
    SIA Group regional subsidiary SilkAir has also filed an application to serve Luang Prabang. Lao authorities expect SilkAir to launch three weekly flights to Laos in Jun-2016, on a circle routing that combines Vientiane and Luang Prabang. SilkAir will not have pick-up rights for the domestic sector.

    Adding Laos is strategically important for SilkAir and the SIA Group as it is now the only ASEAN country not served by SIA or SilkAir. MAA currently has the distinction of being the only airline serving all 10 ASEAN countries.

    Combining Luang Prabang and Vientiane in a circle routing is sensible for SilkAir as neither market is likely to be large enough to support a service on its own. SilkAir uses circle routings to serve other smaller Southeast Asian destinations such as Mandalay in Myanmar (combined with Yangon), Da Nang in Vietnam (combined with Siem Reap) and Davao in the Philippines (combined with Cebu)."
