SINGAPORE: Singapore Airlines’ (SIA) next-generation first and business class seats on its Airbus A350-900 aircraft is expected to enter service in the first quarter of 2027 instead of the second quarter of 2026.
“The revised timeline reflects industry-wide supply chain constraints, as well as a delay in the certification of one of the new seats,” SIA’s spokesperson said on Wednesday (May 6) in response to CNA’s queries.
The upgrade – announced in November 2024 – was part of SIA’s programme to install all-new long-haul cabin products across 41 Airbus A350-900 long-haul and ultra-long-range (ULR) aircraft.
SIA had said in November 2024 that the products are designed from the ground up, with a spacious layout and ergonomic elements that “cater to every customer’s needs”.
