Singapore Airlines

Singapore Airlines is having its new business class seats manufactured by Recaro in Schwäbisch Hall; the Designworks‑styled, “auto‑inspired” seat concept is deliberately distinct from industry trends. Developing the roughly 3,500 seats cost a high double‑digit million sum, and Recaro intends to significantly expand its share of the business‑class segment. Production and certification delays have pushed the retrofit back by about a year; Singapore is targeting approvals and deployment by the second half of 2027. » Mais em faz.net

Singapore Airlines is upgrading its long‑haul cabins across all four classes and is investing more than SGD 2 billion. New seats and larger double‑bed suites are scheduled to enter service from the second half of 2027 on a fleet of 72 aircraft (retrofitted A350‑900s and ordered 777‑9s). Designworks (a BMW subsidiary) designed the business‑class seats, which will be manufactured by Recaro in Schwäbisch Hall. The refit has been delayed compared with original plans due to stricter safety requirements and industry bottlenecks in seat certification. » Mais em manager-magazin.de

Singapore Airlines will spend S$2bn on cabin upgrades including what it calls the largest double bed in commercial aviation — a 203cm by 152cm mattress spanning two adjoining first-class seats with a Paradies topper, duvet and pillow options. The retrofit adds curved sliding doors, 4K touchscreens, Starlink connectivity and expanded meal and entertainment offerings, with some business seats convertible into double beds. Economy passengers will get more legroom and improved personal storage; the new cabins are due from the second half of 2027. » Mais em theguardian.com
