Mon 05/07 - 08.20 - SIN - HKT - SQ
I've said I can't see how this is possible - it seems far too risky for me! But he said Phuket is open, and he's happy to go hand luggage only and stay airside at SIN.
Is he delirious or can this happen ?!
I'm not sure about delirious, but perhaps misguided.
As per Changi Airport Group's website, BA is not listed as a transit permitted carrier:

No mention of BA...
I suppose in theory you could try to route BA to one of the other Jetstar Asia destinations (if BA are operating) and then pickup a Jetstar Asia flight from there with a transit in Singapore, but you might then have other testing requirements to adhere to.
