Singapore Airlines will spend 1.1 billion Singapore dollars (US$834.66 million) to upgrade all classes on its 41 Airbus A350-900 long-haul and ultra-long-range planes by the end of 2030, the airline said on Monday.
The airline group’s SIA Engineering Company will carry out the retrofitting.
The first retrofitted A350-900 long-haul aircraft is expected to enter service in the second quarter of 2026, while the first A350-900ULR variant is expected in the first quarter of 2027, the airline said.
Singapore Airlines was voted the most loved international airline by readers of American magazine Travel+Leisure at this year’s World’s Best Awards in July thanks to its “excellent in-flight service and cabin comfort.”
Singapore Airlines has built a longstanding reputation for excellence in safety, service, and overall customer experience for years now.
