“Operating these flights between Singapore and New York’s JFK International Airport represents an important step in rebuilding our global network. Ultra-long non-stop services are the foundation of our services to the key U.S. market,” said Lee Lik Hsin, Executive Vice President, Commercial, Singapore Airlines.
