SIA to bring back nonstop US services by 2018 with ultra long range A350-900

These ultra long-range aircraft from both manufacturers may just wrest some of geographic advantage away from intermediate Asian and Middle-Eastern locations and their resident airlines.
It is always going to be hard for carriers in Australia, NZ and even Singapore (in the case of US flights), to overcome the disadvantage of being at the terminus of long routes with little through traffic unless non-stop services become a reality supported by suitable aircraft.

So now we have international flights from Adelaide by Qatar, Singapore, Cathay, Malaysian, Emirates and Air New Zealand, with Jetstar and Virgin Bali only.
