Singapore Airlines has released the first-look at the carrier’s new cabin products that will feature on its new Boeing 737-8 fleet in the coming weeks.

All of Singapore Airlines’ Boeing 737-8 aircraft will have 154 seats in two classes – 10 in Business and 144 in Economy – with new cabin products featuring bespoke elements that have been designed especially for the carrier’s customers.

Singapore Airlines’ Executive Vice President Commercial, Lee Lik Hsin, said the offering elevates the customer experience on board the airline’s narrow-body aircraft fleet to a level similar to its wide-body aircraft, offering a consistent and premium travel journey across the entire Singapore Airlines network.

The lie-flat Business Class seats have been designed by London-based Factorydesign, and manufactured for Singapore Airlines by Thompson Aero Seating, while the Economy Class cabin features the latest generation sleek and slim-line seats, which have been built by Collins Aerospace.
