Singapore Airlines is reducing its all-business class service to New York and Los Angeles amid the global economic downturn.
Frequency on the Singapore-Los Angeles and Singapore-Newark routes will reduce by two flights to five weekly flights on each route. The Tuesday and Wednesday services, where demand is lowest, will be suspended.
“Changes to capacity throughout the network will continue going forward, in an effort to better match capacity with demand, in view of the economic downturn,” SIA said in a statement.
SIA also announced other flight reductions. Two services between Singapore and Bangkok will be suspended from 2 February until the end of the Northern Winter Schedule (end March).
In Europe, two services operating between Singapore and London Heathrow Airport will be suspended on Mondays and Thursdays from 9-23 March 2009. Frequency on the Singapore-London route will reduce from 21 to 19 flights weekly. Meanwhile services operating between Singapore and Zurich will now be five times weekly instead of daily.
On India routes, Hyderabad-Singapore services will drop to three from four. Flights between New Delhi and Singapore will be reduced from six times to five times weekly. Services between Mumbai and Singapore will reduce from five to four times weekly.
