SIA to phase out non-stop all-business New York flights
All eyes on its Asia-Pac market.
According to OSK, Singapore Airlines will be phasing out the world's longest direct commercial flight from Singapore to Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey next month; this could potentially cause them to lose market share in the competitive US-SEA segment.
However, such long range flights are nearly impossible to operate profitably at current fuel prices and it plans to focus on growing its network in the buoyant Asia-Pacific market instead.
