Singapore Airlines suspends direct flights to Canberra as COVID-19 further hampers aviation industry

ABC reports: Singapore Airlines has announced it will no longer fly direct from Singapore to Canberra, even once coronavirus restrictions ease.

Key points:

  • Singapore Airlines cite a lack of demand as the reason for the decision
