SIA to stop ultra-longhauls to EWR and LAX

The reasons why these ultra long haul flights haven't worked is little to do with the aircraft type but more to do with a) the extra cost of running the flights is not covered by the yields (fuel, crew), b) relative lack of demand for incoming/outgoing interlining flights, and c) the costs of deploying so many additional flight/cabin crew members.
I've done the Singapore EWR/SIN flight once (in that direction), and while it was an efficient way to travel 9000 miles, it felt good to get off.

Originally posted by Taliesin View PostI believe there are a few A345's that were not taken up by Kingfisher gathering dust and possibly mould somewhere in souther France, so no, they will not be taken up by another airline.
Those should be flying with Arik Air. But true that there will be no interest for those SIA airframes....
