SIA bringing back non-stop flights to New York before year-end

Singapore

SINGAPORE Airlines (SIA) is expected to restart non-stop flights to New York before the end of the year, which will allow it to reclaim the mantle of operating the world's longest flight.

The airline is the first to order the ultra long-range (ULR) variant of Airbus' A350, which completed its first flight from Airbus' facility in Toulouse, France, on Monday.
