SQ SIN-BLR flight number/timing change from Nov
Permalink Closed

SQ is changing their flight schedule to BLR starting this Winter schedule. Currently the service is operated as SQ429 with the following schedule:

Current schedule

Singapore Airlines SQ 430 - Changi (SIN), Singapore, Singapore Terminal 2 - 20:25  - Hindustan (BLR), Bangalore, India - 22:00  - Non-stop EQV - 4h05min -  Daily except  Tuesday  Wednesday

However the transition starts in the last week of October where both flights are operated:

Transition schedule
Singapore AirlinesSQ 502 - Changi (SIN), Singapore, Singapore Terminal 2 - 20:55  - Hindustan (BLR), Bangalore, India - 22:40  - Non-stop 772 - 4h15min -  Monday  Sunday
Singapore Airlines SQ 430 - Changi (SIN), Singapore, Singapore Terminal 2 - 20:25  - Hindustan (BLR), Bangalore, India - 22:00  - Non-stop EQV - 4h05min -  Thursday
 Friday  Saturday

Moving to this schedule from there on:


Final schedule
Singapore Airlines SQ 502 - Changi (SIN), Singapore, Singapore Terminal 2 - 20:55  - Hindustan (BLR), Bangalore, India - 22:40  - Non-stop EQV - 4h15min -  Daily except  Tuesday  Wednesday

Does anyone know why SQ is changing the flight numbers (most of their India flights are in the SQ 4xx series, but now changed to SQ 5xx for BLR) or the flight timings?

Very Odd Nimish-


I Flew SQ 430/429 last year on my way to SYDNEY.  Yeah all flights or most start with "4" to BOM,DEL,BLR,MAA,HYD,ATQ,AMD...


usually airlines like to keep those standard.


Also is it always going to be just the 777-200 b.c now it varies b/w the 772 and 773. In the past they have brought in a 744 some days. This flight is pleasant, but usually full in all classes!!!

CCU,HYD and MAA flight nos. are changing as well.Not too sure about BOM,DEL,AMD and ATQ though. SQ currently operates its B772 on the SIN-CCU-SIN route 4x weekly as SQ 416 AND SQ 415.These will now change to SQ 516 and SQ 517 wef their winter  2006 schedule.


What could be the reason for them to make this change ????

Singapore airlines has changed flight number of many flights as per their website

Singapore Airlines is undertaking a wide-ranging review of existing flight numbers, following significant growth in the network over recent years. Some flight numbers will change to avoid confusion with similar-sounding numbers to aid customer convenience and communication.

Thanks blrsea for that link.

That being said - I still don't get hte logic SQ is using in this (re)numbering scheme. To have a different series for MAA/CCU/BLR/AMD and a different series from BOM/DEL etc - does not make much sense (to me). Hopefully there'll be someone who can sort this out!
