Singapore Airlines Unveils New Economy and
Business Class Cabins (with Video)
(17 Nov 2021)
Singapore Airlines has unveiled new economy
and business class cabins which will be rolled out on its Boeing 737-8 fleet in the coming
weeks.
All of SIA's Boeing 737-8 aircraft will have 154 seats in
two classes, 10 in Business Class and 144 in Economy Class.
The lie-flat Business Class seats have been
designed by London-based Factorydesign, and manufactured for
Singapore Airlines by Thompson Aero Seating.
The Economy Class
cabin will feature the latest generation sleek and slim line
seats, which have been built by Collins Aerospace.
The aircraft feature Panasonic's X-Series
seat-back in-flight entertainment, allowing all customers to enjoy
the latest KrisWorld entertainment content.
The fleet is also
fitted with Panasonic's in-flight Wi-Fi service, as well as mobile
data connectivity services.
Singapore Airlines has invested around S$230
million (approximately US$169 million) on the development, design,
and installation of the new cabin products on its
short and medium-haul narrowbody aircraft.
Mr Lee Lik Hsin, Executive Vice President
Commercial, Singapore Airlines, said, "This is the culmination of
three years of innovation and hard work, involving extensive
customer research and close partnerships with designers and
suppliers. As a result, we can now offer customers a premium
travel experience across our entire full-service network, no
matter how long or short their journey. This significant
investment demonstrates Singapore Airlines commitment to
maintaining our leadership position in the airline industry. As
air travel recovers, our customers can continue to enjoy
world-class products and award-winning service across our fleets."
SIA's 737-8 aircraft will progressively enter into
service on short to medium-haul flights across the airline's
network in the coming weeks. This includes services to points in
Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Maldives, Nepal and
Thailand, subject to regulatory approvals.
