Despite moving its hub for European flights from Changi to Dubai two years ago, Singapore is still a critical market for Qantas, said the Australian carrier’s chief executive officer Alan Joyce. Singapore plays a key role in supporting Qantas’ plans to expand in Asia, where demand for air travel is growing faster than anywhere else. Mr Joyce said: “Since we separated our European (Dubai) and Asian (Singapore) hub, we’ve put in a lot more capacity for the Singapore market and made new investments in products and services.” This includes a multi-million dollar passenger lounge which opened at Changi Airport in 2013.
