KL-Singapore shuttle service ends on June 1

I've used the KL-Singapore shuttle flights before. It is somewhat convenient to know there are many flights between the two countries.

But times has changed, booking in now more readiliy available via online booking, if you don't trust me, ask uncle David, hehe :-p

KL-Singapore shuttle service ends on June 1

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia Airlines and Singapore Airlines have mutually decided to terminate the Shuttle Agreement between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, with effect from June 1.

According to a joint statement by MAS and SIA, the termination of the agreement would not reduce flight frequencies or change the fact that a wide variety of fares were now available for this route.

The two national carriers started the shuttle service in 1982.

Both stated that the progressive deregulation of the Singapore-Kuala Lumpur route and the ever-increasing use of the Internet for transactions such as booking of tickets and check-in had removed the need for a shuttle service
