## Summary

Singapore Airlines has disclosed that new seats are planned for its long-haul Airbus A350s, updating its Business and First Class experience. The programme has been delayed, and the airline says the changes will not enter service during the financial year ending March 2027; they may arrive in the following financial year.

The update follows Singapore Airlines being named Skytrax’s World’s Best Airline for 2026 and winning its Economy Class award, while Qatar Airways and Air France took the Business and First Class titles. The airline also plans to introduce Starlink on almost all its Airbus aircraft from the first quarter of 2027, excluding medium-haul A350s. Recent premium-cabin changes include Christofle serviceware, Sisley First Class and BYREDO Business Class amenity kits, and Business Class sleepwear.
