This article was posted in BBC that Singapore Airlines is relaunching the service five years after it withdrew because it had become too expensive.It will cover more than 15,000 km and is scheduled to take just under 19 hours.The airline told that business class seats for the flight were fully booked.
This is a route between two massive financial hubs, and so they will fill this plane up with business people, or well-heeled travelers who want the convenience of a non stop flight.Singapore Airlines launched the same non-stop route between Changi and Newark in 2004, but by 2013 the carrier was forced to cancel it. The A340-500 it was using at the time used a lot of fuel and eventually the route became too expensive to run.Qantas launched a 17-hour non-stop service from Perth to London earlier this year, while Qatar runs a 17.5-hour service between Auckland and Doha.
This flight will take off in Thursday.
