So, Singapore Airlines has dropped 16 long-haul destinations since 2006. That's quite a shift, right? They've been adding new routes too, like Riyadh, Madrid, and even a new airport in Western Sydney. But it's interesting to see how some cities just didn't work out for them. Houston, for instance, was their most recent cut. I guess the numbers just didn't add up anymore, even with the A350-900 being more efficient.
The Moscow connection ended up being a big deal too, especially after the Ukraine conflict. They had to pull out there, which also killed their Stockholm route earlier. Seems like a lot of external factors are in play here - pandemics, geopolitical stuff, and just the usual demand shifts.
But what do you guys think? Is dropping these cities a smart move for Singapore Airlines, or are they losing out on potential markets? And with all these changes, how do you think their network will look in another decade? Kinda curious to see where they're headed next!
