Flights to Japan Sold Out!


(The Straits Times) - According to a Singapore Changi Airport spokesman, all the flights from Singapore to Japan have been sold out today. This has angered many customers and rumours have it that they are planning to go on strike against Changi Airport for failure to provide them with airflights to Japan.

Christean Streiff, CEO for SIA's Airbus, said "It's the first time that we've experienced such an incident. We've never had insufficient tickets for flights to any country in the entire Changi Airport's history!"

Apparently, the 76 different airline companies which caters to flights from Singapore to Japan have experienced a sudden boom in ticket sales, resulting in all tickets being sold out. The prices of tickets skyrocketed, jumping to about 600% its usual price. The budget airlines were the most affected, with current ticket prices still climbing at this moment. Renowned economist Margratte Tang-a great fan of the QuincyRockers-commented, "The prelimary data is still rather inconclusive, but it seems to hint strongly that the overwhelming ticket prices was caused by enthusiastic fans of the Quincy Rockers, World famous band, in Singapore." This arguement is highly convincing and is generally agreed upon by economists around the world. The Quincy Rockers are scheduled for their Live for Live Earth live concert tommorow, hence fans in Singapore are snapping up air tickets as quickly as they can, crippling the supply line and overcrowding the airlines. Streiff, however, sees this as an excellent opportunity to prove SIA's ability to adapt to cicumstances. He also added that nothing is impossible if it is for the Quincy Rockers.
