Singapore Airlines Unveils $835 Million Cabin Overhaul for Long-Haul A350s

The upgrade includes new first-class seats and enhanced business class features to maintain its competitive edge in premium air travel.

Singapore Airlines is investing S$1.1 billion (US$835 million) to retrofit 41 Airbus A350 planes by 2030, enhancing all cabin classes.
The overhaul introduces first-class cabins on seven A350-900ULR aircraft, marking a significant upgrade for ultra-long-haul routes.
Business class will feature new seats with sliding doors, reflecting a growing trend for privacy in premium cabins.
The first retrofitted A350-900 long-haul aircraft is expected to enter service in mid-2026, with the A350-900ULR variant following in early 2027.
The move comes as competition intensifies with other airlines like Emirates and Qatar Airways also enhancing their premium offerings.
