Singapore Airlines has started its non-stop Singapore-San Francisco service that links Singapore with the United States West Coast. The new flights will be operated daily using Airbus A350-900 aircraft.

According to the information, the inaugural flight, SQ32, departed Singapore Changi Airport at 0925hrs local time and arrived at San Francisco Airport at approximately 0850hrs local time.

The new flights are the longest in the Singapore Airlines network. Flying time will range between 14:35hrs and 17:45hrs depending on direction and time of year.

The aircraft deployed for the inaugural flight is Singapore Airlines' sixth A350-900, which also happens to be the 10,000th aircraft delivered by Airbus.

This milestone aircraft was received at a special ceremony in Toulouse, France earlier this month and has a "10,000th Airbus Aircraft" logo on the fuselage.
