The airline took to the skies in February 1989 as Tradewinds the Airline, before evolving into SilkAir in 1992. In its early days, the airline catered to passengers holidaying in exotic destinations in the region, including Phuket and Tioman. As the carrier developed, regional business destinations such as Phnom Penh, Yangon and Kuala Lumpur were added.
Today, the full service airline operates more than 300 weekly flights to 42 destinations in 12 countries. Latest additions to the network include Hanoi (June 2012) and Visakhapatnam (October 2012). The airline currently has a fleet of 23 Airbus aircraft, comprising 6 A319s and 17 A320s.
