In November 2024, Singapore Airlines announced a huge investment into its premium passenger experience, which will see the introduction of all-new cabin products, plus the expansion of first class. These cabins will be retrofitted on dozens of Airbus A350s, and will also be available on newly delivered Boeing 777-9s in the future.
It has now been well over a year since this announcement, and interestingly, the airline still hasn’t actually revealed what we can expect. So in this post I’d like to at least take an updated look at where things stand, as we have a better sense of the timeline with which these cabins will debut, and maybe even which routes will feature them first.
In this post:
The only A350-900s that won’t be reconfigured are the ones that are specifically designed for regional flights, featuring the same cabin products you’ll find onboard Boeing 787-10s.
With this project, we can expect changes across cabins. We’ll see first class added to the carrier’s ultra long range A350s, an all-new business class product, refreshes to premium economy and economy, plus an updated inflight entertainment system.
How will the layouts of these jets change, once reconfigured? Singapore Airlines’ standard long haul A350-900s:
- Currently have 253 seats, including 42 business class seats, 24 premium economy seats, and 187 economy seats
- Will have 258 seats, including 42 business class seats, 24 premium economy seats, and 192 economy seats
- The business class and premium economy capacity will remain unchanged, while economy will get five more seats
