Spanning an incredible 10,013 nautical miles (18,544 km) each way, this extraordinary route has set a benchmark in aviation for nearly two decades, marking the end of an era in ultra-long-haul travel. The airline had initially routed the service through Moscow before switching to Manchester in 2016, signaling its agility in adapting to changing geopolitical and economic conditions. With a final round-trip flight on March 30, 2025, this iconic route is now concluded, as Singapore Airlines reimagines its global network to meet evolving travel demands. Story has more.<br/>
