SIA A380 flies to Frankfurt and New York

The inaugural Singapore–Frankfurt–New York service departed Singapore shortly after midnight on 16 January 2012.

Singapore Airlines said flight SQ26 is scheduled to make its inaugural touchdown in Frankfurt at 0610hrs local time and will then depart the German city at 0820hrs and arrive at New York’s JFK airport at 1110hrs. It has more than 450 customers on board.

Representing a daily increase of 25% in seat capacity, the daily A380 flights will replace an existing daily Boeing 747-400 service to JFK Airport via Frankfurt.

Frankfurt and New York will be Singapore Airlines’ ninth and tenth destinations to receive the superjumbo. Frankfurt is Singapore Airlines’ fourth point in Europe to be added to the list, after London, Paris and Zurich, while New York is the second point in North America, after Los Angeles.

Singapore Airlines is the world’s first carrier to operate the A380 in October 2007 and has since carried more than 6 million customers on the superjumbo system-wide. SIA currently has 15 A380s in service and four more on firm order.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
