After Singapore announced the freezing of new ticket sales for flights under quarantine-free travel programme amid Omicron concerns, the country’s flag carrier on Wednesday said that it will stop accepting new bookings for all Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) flights into Singapore scheduled between December 22 and January 20, 2022.
In a statement, Singapore Airlines said: “With effect from 2359hrs (SGT) on 22 December 2021, Singapore Airlines will stop accepting new bookings for all Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) flights into Singapore that are scheduled between 23 December 2021 and 20 January 2022 (both dates inclusive). This follows the Singapore government’s directive to suspend new ticket sales on designated VTL flights for entry into Singapore during this time.” The airline clarified that the customers with a confirmed booking on a VTL flight are not affected by this directive, and may proceed with their travel.
