SINGAPORE, 23 July 2021: Discussions on reviving the Singapore-Hong Kong Air Travel Bubble have been pushed back to late August, according to a statement made by the Ministry of Transport. Responding to media queries, Iswaran Singapore’s Minister for Transport and his counterpart Edward Yau, Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government, said both parties would remain in close contact and monitor the public health situation in both territories before taking stock in late August on the ATB. Given the recent surge in community cases in Singapore and the enforcement of stricter Phase 2 (heightened alert) measures that will remain in place until 18 August 2021, discussions on reviving the Singapore-Hong Kong Air Travel Bubble (ATB) will resume only when the Covid-19 situation improves.
