Collinson and Singapore Airlines

London-based Collinson Group and Singapore Airlines (SIA) have announced that all SIA passengers flying outbound from Singapore and Indonesia (bound for Singapore) are now able to book pre-departure polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and serology tests as part of a trial service.

Collinson will lead and manage the process and is also working in partnership with Heathrow Airport,  Luton Airport, London City Airport and Manchester Airports Group in the UK – which includes Stansted, Manchester and East Midlands airports – as well as leading airlines globally; and have performed more than 90,000 COVID-19 tests to date. Subject to success, the programme is expected to be expanded to include more cities in the SIA and SilkAir network.

This is the first time that SIA has offered pre-departure testing services with a global partner to its passengers.

A newly developed and secure portal, seamlessly accessible via Singapore Airlines’ flight booking platforms, will enable customers to request an appointment for a pre-departure test with their preferred in-city clinic from a given list of testing facilities. Upon completion of their test, customers will automatically receive notification of their test results within 36 hours, which if negative, can then be used for travel.
