Singapore Airlines launch narrowbody aircraft cabin products
New seats and bespoke elements will be available on select SIA flights.
New cabin products will be available in Singapore Airlines' Boeing 737-8 fleet over the coming weeks.
All of SIA’s 737-8 aircraft will have 154 seats in two classes, 10 in Business and 144 in economy class. Bespoke elements will also be designed and available for the SIA customer.
The lie-flat Business class seats have been designed by London-based Factorydesign and manufactured for Singapore Airlines by Thompson Aero Seating. Meanwhile, the economy class cabin will have the latest generation sleek and slim-line seats, built by Collins Aerospace. Ergonomics will be the main focus of the design.
A feature of the aircraft is Panasonic’s X-Series seat-back in-flight entertainment and Panasonic’s in-flight WIFI service.
An estimated $230m was invested in the development, design, and installation of the cabin products.
“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,” said Lee Lik Hsin, Executive VP Commercial, Singapore Airlines.
