All affected customers will be contacted and arrangements will be made to re-accommodate them on to other flights, SIA added.

The SIA Group, which includes the parent Airline and low-cost carrier Scoot, also serves six points in Japan including Fukuoka, Nagoya, Osaka, Sapporo, Tokyo-Haneda and Tokyo-Narita.

It remains firmly committed to the Japanese market and is working to grow both passenger and cargo traffic to and from the country, SIA said in the press statement.
