Alii Palau Airlines and Changi Airport Group have joined forces to introduce a new air route that directly connects the vibrant city-state of Singapore to the mesmerizing paradise of Palau. This service, which takes off on 23 November 2023, is operated by Royal Bhutan Airlines (Drukair), the national carrier of the Royal Government of Bhutan. It not only simplifies travel logistics but also celebrates the spirit of international cooperation.
The creation of this new route comes on the heels of the open skies agreement inked in October 2022 between Singapore and Palau, laying the groundwork for a seamless travel experience. Now, visitors can access the breathtaking beauty of Palau, often referred to as “Nature’s Paradise,” with a convenient five-hour flight that takes them from the heart of Bhutan to the vibrant city of Singapore and onwards to the pristine landscapes of Palau. It’s a triple destination delight that promises unforgettable adventures and natural wonders.
Palau, nestled in the western Pacific Ocean, is famous for its untouched natural splendor. Its clear waters, thriving coral reefs, and lush forests provide a stunning backdrop for a variety of outdoor escapades, including snorkeling, diving, hiking, and up-close wildlife encounters. The Rock Islands Southern Lagoon, a UNESCO World Heritage site, showcases some of the most picturesque landscapes you’ll ever encounter, making it a true gem for nature enthusiasts and explorers.
