Why airlines will not give up their Malaysia-Singapore flight fight

Described as a game-changer, the recent high-speed rail link deal between Malaysia and Singapore stirred up considerable buzz on both sides of the causeway. Jointly announced by both heads of government, it is perceived as both blight and an advantage – causing airline stocks to dip and stock market prices to fluctuate. Set to be completed by 2020, the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore high-speed train presents a 90 minute journey between the cities. Whereas a direct flight will take an approximate three hours, including airport transfers and immigration queues. In a recent survey by HRG, it was revealed that business travellers are three times more likely to choose rail over air for rail journeys that are less than three hours. Taking this into account, the upcoming high-speed train seems to be the discerning choice for commuters. Nonetheless, air travel between the two cities are certainly not about to give up without a fight. With a current average of 3 flights to Kuala Lumpur leaving Singapore every hour, airlines provide the greatest flexibility and availability to business travellers, who are often faced with shifting schedules. As such, a grand total of 10 airlines ranging from budget airlines to national carriers proffer 668 flights per week between both destinations.
