No, SQ flies
FRA-JFK.
IIRC, what has happened is this: CX formally has the approval from the US and UK authorities to fly between LHR and NYC, but some airlines (including SQ, from what I've read) are protesting that they should be allowed access to the profitable NYC-LHR route as well. These airlines have asked the EU to look into the decision.
