Because SYD-SIN is a flight from Outside the EU to another point outside the EU and so is not covered
If booked on the direct flight SYD-LHR it is a flight on an EU carrer from outside the EU to the EU and so is covered

Indeed they do - but since the flight is cancelled, those on that flight are not going to be travelling on rhat flight ; some will be eligible to claim benefits under EC261, others will not; those that deliberately chose to change flights in Singapore may well be kicking themselves that since the flight is cancelled, that they have missed out

Given how clear the text is to what flights are applicable, I would be surprised if anyone has tried taking to court the situation where a flight that is completely operated outside of the region where the law apples - I would be even more surprised if someone had won such a case
