Travel Bubble Flights Deferred

The inaugural flights under the Hong Kong-Singapore Air Travel Bubble (ATB), scheduled for May 26, will be deferred due to Singapore’s recent COVID-19 epidemic situation.

 

The two governments will closely monitor the epidemic situation in both places, including the effectiveness of enhanced anti-epidemic measures introduced by the Singapore government, which took effect from May 16 and will last until June 13.

 

During this period, both sides will maintain communication, exchange relevant data, and review developments closely before deciding on the way forward with the inaugural flights under the ATB. A further announcement will be made on or before June 13.

 

Both governments remain strongly committed to launching the ATB to resume air travel between the two regional aviation hubs in a gradual and orderly manner under stringent public health control protocols.

 

Those who have booked designated flights may contact the relevant airlines to adjust their itineraries.
