At least five cities: Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Hong Kong, Sydney and London get daily services from November.
Singapore Airlines and Silkair has published their schedules up to November, with a published schedule to a total of 34 cities across 23 countries/territories.

Final thoughts
With schedules inching up above the 10% of pre-crisis levels, the month-on-month increase is encouraging for the industry and for travellers, although a full recovery will probably take a couple of years.
With no signs of any leisure travel market happening among Asia Pacific countries as of now, a faster pick-up of flight frequencies is unlikely in the coming months. We can only hope that green-lane arrangements are announced soon for leisure travel.
