AIRFARES have gone up in recent months on the back of stronger
demand for air travel, and the next hike is due to hit travellers
on Thursday, when Singapore Airlines (SIA) increases ticket
prices.
Industry players said many airlines, including SIA, had brought
fares back up to pre-crisis levels. SIA travellers can expect to
pay about $50 to $100 more on top of this from April 1, The Straits
Times found out.
The last time the carrier increased its fares was in October
last year, said travel agents, who were told of the April 1 hike in
a circular issued by SIA earlier this month.
