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.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
