: Following news of the crash of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17, Singapore Airlines (SIA) said on July 18 (Friday) that its airlines do not fly in Ukraine airspace.
“Customers may wish to note that Singapore Airlines flights are not using Ukraine airspace,” SIA said in a Facebook post early Friday morning. “Our thoughts are with the passengers and crew of MH17, and their families,” it added in a separate post.
A Singapore Airlines spokeswoman was quoted as saying by Reuters: "We have re-routed our flights since the incidents and are no longer using that airspace."
FlightRadar24, a website that provides global flight tracking, earlier published an image showing an SIA flight close to where MH17 was last seen on radar. Flight SQ351 and Air India flight AI113 were about 25km from the Malaysia Airlines jet when it disappeared, according to FlightRadar24.
