SINGAPORE – Hong-Kong’s Greater Bay Airlines (GBA) announced that it will suspend flights from Hong Kong to Singapore from June 1.

The low-cost carrier started offering this route just two weeks ago on April 26, with one-way fares starting at HK$480 (S$83).

In response to The Straits Times’ query, GBA said the suspension will start on June 1 and continue until further notice “due to commercial reasons after considering the latest market situations”.

“We deeply apologise for the inconvenience caused to our passengers,” GBA said in a statement on May 10.

“To minimise the possible impact to passengers, we will directly contact our passengers to make flight protection, rebooking or refund arrangements, and all the associated fees will be waived,” it added.

Founded by Chinese property mogul Wong Cho Bau, who also owns the Shenzhen-headquartered Donghai Airlines, GBA joined Singapore Airlines, Scoot and Cathay Pacific in plying the Singapore-Hong Kong route.

The airline began flying in 2022, with a fleet of eight single-aisle Boeing 737-800 aircraft.

It is now operating flights between Hong Kong and Bangkok, Taipei, Tokyo, Osaka, Seoul and Manila.
