Singapore Airlines new Airbus A350-900 medium haul to Colombo

Singapore Airlines (SIA) will be welcoming the new Airbus A350-900 medium haul aircraft from Colombo to Singapore on October 2, 2019.

Featuring new regional Business Class and Economy Class cabin products, the A350-900 medium haul Business Class cabin has 40 seats in a 1-2-1 arrangement that ensures direct aisle access for every customer, while the Economy Class cabin has 263 seats arranged in a comfortable 3-3-3 configuration.

The new medium-haul Business Class seats have been manufactured by Stelia Aerospace. Each seat is able to recline directly into a 76” fully-flat bed and customers can rest in more comfort, even on the shortest flights.

Other features include ample stowage space for personal items, a business panel with in-seat power supply and USB ports, an integrated reading light unit with adjustable lighting intensity and a personal 17” full high-definition touch screen monitor.

The new Economy Class seats have been designed and manufactured by RECARO and offer customers an enhanced in-flight experience. Each seat has an ergonomically-designed contour backrest that provides greater relaxation, and a six-way adjustable headrest with foldable wings to provide more neck support. Economy Class customers can also enjoy an enhanced entertainment experience on their personal 11.6” full high-definition touch screen monitor.

Other features that have been introduced for Economy Class customers include storage space for small personal items, a coat hook, USB port and in-seat power supply.

The A350-900 medium haul aircraft are also fitted with the latest Thales AVANT in-flight entertainment system – a first in SIA’s fleet. This has been designed with a new user interface that offers a more intuitive experience and navigation options. Customers can receive personalised content recommendations based on their preferences and viewing history, while KrisFlyer members can bookmark and resume content, as well as customise and save preferences and playlists for subsequent flights.

KrisFlyer members and Business Class customers will also have access to additional in-flight entertainment content choices. In addition, customers will have access to high-speed in-flight WiFi service on the new A350-900s.

The A350-900 features higher ceilings, larger windows, an extra wide body delivering more space and comfort as well as lighting designed to reduce jetlag.
