Singapore Airlines has unveiled its long-awaited new first and business class seats at an event in Marina Bay Sands. The products are scheduled to enter service from the second half of 2027. The forthcoming Boeing 777-9 fleet will feature the airline’s four new cabins while 41 retrofitted Airbus A350-900 long-haul aircraft will include the new business class.
The business class seat is configured in a staggered 1-2-1 layout and introduces sliding privacy doors for the first time in business class. The seat reclines into a 79-inch fully flat bed and is forward-facing with a generous footwell. The airline is introducing pyjamas for the first time in business class on all long-haul flights. A seat memory system records passenger settings.
First class features bespoke design by PriestmanGoode with electronically adjustable armchair wings and louvre doors for privacy. Centre seats can be opened into a double suite with a fully retractable privacy divider forming the largest double bed in commercial aviation. The first class seat is upholstered in Poltrona Frau leather. The overall investment exceeds S$2bn and includes the S$1.1bn A350 retrofit programme.
