can someone please explain the difference between a core and a non-core flight?
I thought all flights on SQ were the same!! Banjo

Nevertheless, I was told by several SQ staff here in Australia, SIN & China that SQ will try to reduce frequencies on existing routes at first (unless LFs and yields are shockingly poor on a particular route) and if this doesn't work they will then be considering on suspending the route. They won't exit a market so easily as what some other carriers are doing as they simply don't want to give up the local presence and leave the hardly-earned market shares to its rivals. So, my personal impression (could be totally wrong anyway) with the "core" and "non-core" is that they may look at LFs and yields for all flights on the existing routes applicable and pick 1-2 best-performing services on each route so that these will be the "core" while the rest will first come under "the chopping block waitlist" and be treated like "non-core". However, this will probably affect cities with multi-flights offered by SQ more than those with only one existing service. For instance, SQ's SIN-ADL services will probably highly unlikely to be suspended at all even if the market conditions aren't performing well (although frequency cuts may be expected if market demand goes down dramatically) since there is only one daily service to ADL and that may be considered as a "core service" by SQ.

Core routes are the ones where they have large passenger volumes and good profit returns (or no competition), ie.
