Services through India will also be increased, with new twice weekly freighter service through Bangalore, in the fast growing Indian technology region, directly to Amsterdam.

A new scheduled freighter service will be introduced to Colombo, Sri Lanka once a week with the flight routing New York - Brussels-Kuwait-Colombo- Singapore.

European services to Amsterdam will be increased to six times weekly, with Frankfurt to be served three times weekly. The SIA Cargo hub in Brussels will see departures almost doubling to sixteen weekly.
