MUMBAI: Singapore Airlines has planned to roll out its new A380 cabin products on the Mumbai-Singapore route from September 1, subject to approvals. The inaugural flight SQ423 will depart from Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport, Mumbai on 1 September 2019 at 2340 hours, said the airline in a press statement issued recently.
"The new cabin products were initially fitted to five new A380s acquired from Airbus, following which retrofit work is progressively being completed on the remaining 14 aircrafts that are already in service," said Singapore Airline statement.
The research, design, development and installation of the new products on 19 Singapore Airlines A380s represents an investment of about $850 million. "Riding on the theme of “Space made personal, experience the difference”, the new cabin offerings provide more space and privacy in all classes, featuring intimate and bespoke elements designed especially for the Singapore Airlines customer," the airline said
The new Singapore Airlines A380 will be configured with 471 seats in four classes, featuring six Singapore Airlines Suites and 78 Business Class seats on the upper deck, as well as 44 Premium Economy Class seats and 343 Economy Class seats on the main deck.
The six suites will tucked spaciously within the front cabin of the upper deck. "Each Suite is furnished with a separate full-flat bed with adjustable recline and plush leather chair, enabling customers to lounge comfortably in the chair or rest in bed without the need to convert the bed from a sitting position. For couples travelling together, the beds in the first two Suites of each aisle can be converted to form a double bed. When not in use, the bed can be stowed completely, creating even more personal space within each Suite," said the SIA statement.
"Seats in the Business Class cabin are arranged in a forward-facing, four-abreast (1-2-1) configuration that offers all customers direct access to the aisle. Measuring 25 inches in width, the Business Class seat, which has two side wings for better back support, reclines directly into a comfortable full-flat bed (78 inches)," the release said. Premium Economy Class seat is 19.5 inches wide, with eight-inch recline and seat pitch of 38 inches.
