Singapore Airlines Cancels Flights to and from Bangkok on 26 November 2008
Singapore Airlines will cancel all its flights to and from Bangkok today due to the deteriorating security situation, and a lack of operational service staff, at Suvarnabhumi Airport.
Customers booked on flights today are being contacted to advise that their flights have been cancelled. Efforts will be made to reaccommodate those customers on flights when the security situation stabilises and flights resume.
Customers whose flights have been cancelled should contact their travel agent, or if the booking was made directly with Singapore Airlines, contact any Singapore Airlines Reservations Service Centre (in Singapore, 6223 8888).
Customers and meeters and greeters are advised to stay in touch with flight information via the Company's website (singaporeair.com) via FLIGHT STATUS or by calling the Changi Airport flight information hotline on 1800 542 4422.
An assessment will be made later about flight operations beyond today, and further advice will be issued on the Singapore Airlines website, singaporeair.com, and by way of a media advice.
Singapore Airlines will waive admin fees / penalty for cancellation or rerouting for customers holding confirmed tickets issued prior to 26 November 2008, with a Singapore Airlines flight to Bangkok between 26 November and 07 December 2008, both dates inclusive, to allow customers to cancel or rebook an alternative date of travel until 07 February 2009 in the same class (or pay the difference to upgrade to another class), subject to availability of seats at the time of reservation change.
In the case of rerouting to an alternate Singapore Airlines or SilkAir destination (subject to seat availability), the applicable fare difference / taxes / surcharges will be collected.
Singapore Airlines apologises to customers for the inconvenience caused by this disruption, however seeks the understanding of customers that the security situation in Bangkok necessitates this cancellation in the interests of the safety of operations.
