Wouldn't FRA deserve the A380s more?
It is a premium route, there is a lot of demand for F and J capacity and it does not have consistent product offering (SQ25/26 vs SQ325/326). And now the competitor is going to deploy their best planes.
Unless the terminal SQ uses in FRA is not A380-ready. Or if there are regulatory issues. Or it is is indeed just not feasible to expand capacity to JFK and they are not willing to drop the tag.

Please dont say you bought that 'class beyond first' guff, even SQ dropped that silly tag line a long time ago.

FWIW, the latest update from my source in response to my query that SIN-TPE-JFK plans may have been shelved:
***Start of rumour update***********
No news of SIN-TPE-JFK route being shelved.
SIN-PEK goes A380 in Nov '11
SIN-FRA-JFK goes A380 in Jan '12
SIN-TPE-JFK starts in Jan '12 using 77W
SQ wants SIN-DEL to be A380, but the Indian authorities will not allow any foreign A380 service until one of the Indian carriers starts it first.
SIN-AKL has a very high chance of going A380, rolling up two daily flights into one.
SQ is mulling a new route via AKL to a South American destination.

As it no longer seems to be much of a secret due to some fine investigative work by others , the date for SQ25/26 going A380, all the way to JFK, is 'allegedly' 15 Jan 2012.
Anyone know the new MI destination ?
