On Monday (1 Jun), Singapore Airlines (SIA) & SilkAir announced that they’ll adding more destinations for domestic flights & upping the frequency of some flight services.
These new updates are for flights happening in Jun & Jul 2020.

Here’s a summary of the destinations that will resume.
Flights that will be reinstated include:

This list is non-exhaustive, but you can view the full flight schedules here:
Do note that SIA has stated that all flights are “subject to regulatory approval”. This means that schedules can still be changed due to unforeseen circumstances.
Original flights planned for Jun-Jul 2020 takeoffs that aren’t listed in these schedules will also be cancelled. This is part of the 94% passenger capacity cut previously announced.
If there are updates to each flight schedule, existing customers will receive an SMS or email update.
For cancelled bookings, patrons can receive flight credits for the full value of their unused tickets.
Upon rebooking your new flights with SIA, you’ll be able to claim “bonus flight credits” which can be used up to 31 Dec.
