This also means that Scoot won't be taking domestic passengers.
This is like the old HKG-ADL-MEL and UAs MEL-SYD-LAX

What's the reason for the reduction? Are they not getting the loads they need/want? Or is it a aircraft availability issue?

From memory the last couple of reductions at OOl were due aircraft availability, i'll keep an ear to the ground....

I would suggest its due to low loads.

That seems to be the story of the SIN-AU routes lately. QF can't fill their Y and Y+ seats for the start of the SIN school holidays, SQ had only 280-odd pax on an A380 the other week when it failed the parking test. It looks like this part of the world is heading for a down turn - property prices have been dropping as well.
