This of course doesn't mean it would be profitable. Maybe the 777x could do it and make money but that's one long flight.
Well one thing that is certain is SQ was not happy with Boeing due to the delays in the 787 and at one point said they would do more business with airbus.

I know SQ has orders for the 787-10, but none for the 777X
