Singapore Airlines (SIA) is investing S$1.1 billion (around $835 million) in a multi-year program to install its all-new long-haul cabin products across 41 Airbus A350-900 long-haul and ultra-long-range (ULR) aircraft.
SIA will introduce a luxurious First Class cabin in its seven A350-900ULR aircraft deployed on the world’s longest routes. Business Class customers can look forward to an elevated travel experience with SIA’s upcoming Business Class seats, with designs that will offer even greater levels of privacy, comfort and convenience in all 41 aircraft. These A350-900 First Class and Business Class products are designed from the ground up, with a spacious layout and ergonomic elements that cater to every customer’s needs. These are the same seat designs that will be available on SIA’s upcoming Boeing 777-9 aircraft.
Premium Economy Class and Economy Class cabins will also be refreshed to enhance the travel experience, as well.
Complementing the cabin products, the next version of SIA’s KrisWorld in-flight entertainment (IFE) system will offer greater personalization and an extensive range of lifestyle options across all cabin classes. First Class and Business Class seats will also offer new in-flight entertainment screens.
The aircraft will be retrofitted by SIA Engineering Company in Singapore. 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 will follow in the first quarter of 2027. The entire program is scheduled for completion by the end of 2030.
Post-retrofit, the 34 A350-900 long-haul aircraft will be configured with 42 Business Class seats, 24 Premium Economy Class seats and 192 Economy Class seats. The seven A350-900ULR variants, which operate from the U.S. to Singapore (the world’s longest routes), will have four First Class seats, 70 Business Class seats and 58 Premium Economy Class seats.
Full details on the entire range of SIA’s forthcoming long-haul First Class, Business Class, Premium Economy Class and Economy Class cabin products, as well as the latest version of the KrisWorld IFE system, will be revealed closer to the entry into service of SIA’s first Boeing 777-9 and retrofitted A350-900 aircraft.
