Singapore Airlines will be operating its biggest-ever schedule to New York as of this spring, which is interesting.
Singapore Airlines is growing.
Singapore Airlines will begin operating three daily flights to New York area airports in March of 2022. Singapore Airlines will operate some services.
A nonstop flight from Singapore to New York using an A350-900ULR.
A nonstop flight from Singapore to Newark using an A350-900ULR.
A flight from Singapore to New York using an A380.
This will be the first time we will see the airline operate 2x daily nonstop flights from Singapore to the New York area. The nonstop service was discontinued before the swine flu hit. The nonstop service was shifted to New York JFK after the route was restarted. It will be operated to both airports soon.
The three services have all routes listed as of March 27, 2022.

My take on the expansion of Singapore Airlines.
Singapore Airlines is offering its biggest-ever schedule in New York. The schedules between EWR and JFK are different so that passengers can choose what works best for them.
I would rather fly to JFK and EWR based on the schedules. I don't like boarding late at night, being in darkness all night, and then landing early in the morning. This is a case where I would prefer the flight to be daytime.
I am surprised to see this expansion.
It is interesting that Singapore Airlines will offer the most capacity we have ever seen between New York and Singapore.
The country has limited its current vaccinated travel lane concept because it is not fully open.
Even though cargo capacity is limited on the A350-900ULRs, I think it will contribute to the viability of these flights.
Since Singapore Airlines doesn't have many destinations to fly A350-900ULRs to, I'm curious to see if this is the best option at the moment.
Singapore is not fully open to visitors.
The bottom line.
Singapore Airlines will be operating three daily flights to New York in March of 2022. The airline will fly from Singapore to Newark and New York JFK with A350-900ULRs, as well as the fifth freedom service from Singapore to New York JFK with an A380.
You wouldn't think that this would be a good time to offer the most capacity in a market that is so dependent on business travel.
What do you think about the expansion of Singapore Airlines?
