Singapore's Singapore Airlines (SIA) will pull off the direct Singapore-Newark USA run at the end of next year.
It also will cut its non-stop route between Singapore and Los Angeles.
The carrier is understood to have found both of the US services (all-business-class flights) unprofitable due to rising fuel costs and the current economic climate.
Both services use Airbus A340-500s, which will be sold back to Airbus as part of a major new fleet renewal deal announced days ago, with SIA in return buying five more Airbus 380s and 20 more A350s.
