Singapore will ease Covid travel testing rules and launch new vaccinated travel lanes with the Philippines and Israel as it woos more tourists and seeks to reclaim its status of one of Asia’s major travel hubs. Shares of the city-state’s aviation-related stocks rose.
The city-state also will start previously announced VTLs from Feb 25 with Qatar and the United Arab Emirates -- major transit hubs in their own right -- and Saudi Arabia, the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore said in a statement Wednesday. The lanes with the Philippines and Israel will start March 4.
