SINGAPORE, 18 November 2021: Singapore Airlines launched its new cabin products Tuesday, which will roll out on its Boeing 737-8 fleet in the coming weeks.
The project upgrades the customer experience onboard the airline’s narrowbody aircraft fleet to a level similar to its widebody aircraft.
All of SIA’s 737-8 aircraft will have 154 seats in two classes, 10 in business class and 144 in economy class, with new cabin products featuring bespoke elements that have been designed especially 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. The economy class cabin will feature the latest generation sleek and slim-line seats, which have been built by Collins Aerospace. The 737-8 cabin has been designed with a particular focus on ergonomics, helping to ensure that everything is within easy reach for customers and features Panasonic’s X-Series seat-back in-flight entertainment. 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 SGD230 million on the development, design, and installation of the new industry-leading cabin products, which elevate the standard for short- and medium-haul travel onboard narrowbody aircraft.
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.
