Sounds credible, especially with the amount of sale activities going on in SIN at the moment. Swiss had promotions for $777 earlier this month. Etihad, Finnair, etc, are also having big sales. And with the Milan-bound 777 catching fire not too long ago, it would be difficult to keep a high yield.

I have SQ flights to ZRH booked for Sep 2016, Jan 2017 and Jun 2017.
Never given any thought to not going, despite the terrible things that have happened.
I could believe some impact, but "massive"?

Interesting that at the moment SQ seems to be adding Europe capacity, with the DUS services, and dedicated DME & BCN services coming online as well with drop of GRU and shifting of IAH to transit MAN.

We would like to inform you that flight SQ068 SIN-BCN xx Nov 2016, originally departing at 0050 hours, has been rescheduled to SQ378 SIN-BCN xx Nov 2016 departing 2345 hours.
No more direct BCN flights?

Please expand on this point. I am struggling to understand how that incident has any connection to future yield/load to Europe, unless you are implying that customers would be reluctant to book SQ in future out of fear.

I guess many airlines just tried to secure some load especially those flying back.
