The JFK Airport Recently Said Hello to Singapore Airlines’ A380s

Travel demand and capacity have recently been evaluated within Singapore Airlines. The company will be implementing significant adjustments to its global route network, as well as highlighting significant aircraft changes for certain destinations.

As of 15th May, 2018, Singapore Airlines will be discontinuing their daily service to JFK airport. These flights will only be using the Boeing 777-300ER instead of the Airbus A380s and that means they will miss out on a superjumbo experience.

Passengers are able to enjoy the full roster of services along with first-class amenities and benefits while they travel.

A change in frequencies

The changes to non-stop flights SQ 36 and SQ 35, which would have been a daily service instead of thrice weekly as on March 26thof next year, will result in the introduction of two new daily non-stop flights to Los Angeles via the existing flight SQ 38 and 37. Passengers will have the option of taking a stopover at Tokyo’s Narita International Airport or through current service SQ 12 and 11.

From March 28th, flights intended for the Singapore-Manchester-Houston route will be reduced from four times weekly to three times a week. And from June 27th, non-stop flights between Singapore and Seattle operated on SQ 28 and SQ 27 will only depart three times a week on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. The flight service will still utilize the Airbus A350-900s.

The great service

Singapore Airlines will introduce new service to its Americas and Europe network in the first quarter of next year. The airline plans to fly twice-weekly between Singapore and Manchester with two new Airbus A350-900 aircraft, SQ 302 and SQ 301.

Today, Singapore Airlines announced an increased frequency for their service to Taipei. SQ 876 and 877 will switch from a four-times-weekly service to a daily service on March 26th. The thrice-weekly service of SQ 878 and 879 will also switch to daily services on May 31st, resulting in 14 times daily departures from Taipei. All flights will be operated by Boeing 787 Dreamliner on the Asia routes by the end of this month.

Bottom line

Nearly all of the changes across South East Asia, parts of East Asia, and Australia are actually very similar to what has happened so far in Europe. Singapore Airlines’ network changes come as the flag carrier has seen increased demand for flights across these regions. With this global expansion, it’s on track to reach even higher levels of operations by March 2024.

Singapore Airlines is experiencing success in spite of the pandemic-stricken economy, returning to its normal flight frequency levels and improving its global network.
