I believe there are still lots of Chinese tourists making their way back home (from and via SIN), as the CNY holidays were originally meant to be over only this weekend. So it may be difficult for SQ group to cut flights now, but there could be reductions beginning next week. There is also a possibility of SQ canceling only the China - SIN leg for now, flying the aircraft back empty.

Originally posted by FN-GM View PostScoot have cancelled flights to/from Wuhan until the end of March.
Originally posted by sbs2716g View PostThat why I am asking whether SQ will switch to immediate turn around for their crews. I think the crews will rather do immediate turn around than staying overnight at Shanghai or Beijing.
CX do have many 7-8pm flights which layover overnight at China Airport for early 7-8am departure which mean their crews will stay overnight. But they have retimed these flights to depart at 3-5am instead so crews won’t stay overnight

Will SQ modified their inflight services for China flights like what CX is doing. (First/business - single tray service ie Y class style meal, and for Y class, heated snack bags only).
I think SQ might be suspending China flights very soon after they have bring/send back the New Years paxes. I believe for Feb, most of the paxes have already canceled or changed the date.

With the A380 and B77W which SQ operates with on the PEK and PVG routes, crew rest areas are available on board so technically they can modify the service so that half of the crews will be resting during after the meal service on the outbound flight and half on the inbound flight.

Singapore closes borders to all Chinese travellers to stem spread of coronavirus

I wonder whether Singapore Airlines and Silkair will cancel all services to/from mainland China, in order to minimise the spread of virus into Singapore?
Perhaps SIA can consider switching B737-800 to Hong Kong instead of using larger planes except SQ 1 & 2?
