Singapore Airlines to Break Records with Longest Commercial Flight to New York—October Launch

Singapore Airlines Takers New York with a No‑Stop Fury

Ever since the Big Apple has stood on the opposite side of the planet, travelers from Singapore have had to endure a two‑leg dance with a layover somewhere in the Atlantic. Guess what? Those days of shuffled coffee breaks and airport lounges are finally set to end.

Meet the Ultra‑Long‑Range Hero

• The Airbus A350‑900ULR, the world’s longest commercial aircraft, is about to take the sky by storm.
• SIA has the first major clientele spotlight on this sleek beast.
• Seven A350s sit on “firm order” status with Airbus, ready to ferry globetrotters across the ocean.

Flight Schedule & Speed Demons

• Starting Oct 11, whispers of a nonstop between Singapore (SIN) and Newark (EWR) begin to buzz.
• Initial wingmen: flights departing on Monday, Thursday, & Saturday.
• From Oct 18, daily flights kick in when another A350-900ULR joins the fleet.
• Recreational mileage: ~9,000 nautical miles (≈16,700 km).
• Flying time? Expect o’clock up to 18 hrs 45 mins—a comfy flight for the restless.

Seating & Comfort, Because We Care

• The cabin is wired for two‑class life: 67 Business seats for the serious deal‑makers.

Ticketing Notes

• Tickets will roll out progressively on all booking platforms.
• First sale starts May 31—fast track your itinerary!

Gone Was the Era of A340-500s

Long ago, back in 2013, the Singapore‑Newark route was quiet. Airlines retired the older A340-500s, creating the perfect theater for this next‑generation wingman.

So buckle up, book your seats, and get ready to glide over the Atlantic in style—no stops, no drama, pure nonstop adventure!

Singapore Airlines Unveils Fast‑Track Flights to Los Angeles

Singapore Airlines CEO Goh Choon Phong is buzzing with excitement over the airline’s latest upgrade:

“Singapore Airlines has always taken pride in pushing the boundaries to provide the best possible travel convenience for our customers, and we are pleased to be leading the way with these new non‑stop flights using the latest‑technology, ultralong‑range Airbus A350‑900ULR,” he says.

What the New Route Means for Travelers

• Speed that’ll make your coffee cool down before you even hit the runway.
• Ultra‑long range so you won’t have to land in the middle of the Pacific for a refuel break.
• Singapore Airlines’ signature “treat‑yours‑self” service—think plush seats, gourmet meals, and a cabin sound system that’s as calm as a monk.
• Improved connections at Singapore’s hub—think less layovers, more direct flights.

Look Out for the Los Angeles Push

Next up: Direct Singapore‑to‑Los‑Angeles flights on the same A350‑900ULR. Details are still under wraps, but Goh guarantees that the next update will be worth the wait.

Why It Matters

With these new nonstop legs, travelers will see:

1. Faster delivery of the beloved Singapore Airlines “so‑good” experience.
2. Greater convenience for business suites, streamlining trips across time zones.
3. A stronger runway for industry partners looking to use Singapore as a bridge between Asia and the U.S.

“Fastest way to travel between the two cities—comfort, speed, and the legendary service—is what we’re offering,” Goh adds, smiling at the prospect of seeing more families and entrepreneurs enjoying seamless journeys.
