SINGAPORE: Russia's Transaero Airlines has become the seventh new airline this year to start flights from Changi Airport.

It will fly once a week non-stop between Moscow and Singapore, re-establishing a link between Changi Airport and the Russian capital.

The new service comes as both sides signalled a readiness to step up bilateral business links.

In fact, on 15 October, Russia's biggest association of small and medium-sized enterprises signed a memorandum of understanding with the Singapore Business Federation to pave the way for greater co-operation beween their business communities.

Apart from Transaero Airlines, the other airlines which started operations at Changi Airport this year are First Cambodia Airlines, Shandong Airlines, Austrian Airlines, Thai AirAsia, ValuAir and Tiger Airways. - CNA

If my mind does not fail me, this is the only flight from SEA to Russia

Why says Russia has better ties with Malaysia?

SU (Aeroflot Russian International Airlines) flies 3 times weekly to Bangkok.

Meanwhile, Transaero is planning to start flights between St. Petersburg and Singapore next year.

But not to Maritime SEA right? MSEA means Indo, Malaysia and Singapore

Superbus SG

If I remember correctly, there's no one who mentioned about Maritime Southeast Asia.

Anyway, how do you classify Maritime Southeast Asia? The ones completely covered by sea? If so, Malaysia isn't. If yes, then what about the Philippines?

sbst275 SG

Maritime SEA is actually termed in as abt countries that are in the Straits of Malacca... Philippines no, up nth liao

Then I stand corrected. So who mentioned about Maritime Southeast Asia?

You are taking my question away from the topic. If my question sounded vague to you, allow me to rephrase it.

With regards to my post about SU's flight to BKK and UN's flights to SIN, does anyone mentioned about the absence of air links between Moscow and Maritime Southeast Asia?
