“This investment reflects our commitment to delivering an unparalleled travel experience,” said Goh Choon Phong, CEO of Singapore Airlines. “As ultra-long-haul flights become more common, we’re setting new standards for comfort and luxury.”
The upgrades come as Singapore Airlines faces increasing competition on premium routes, with carriers like Cathay Pacific and Air France also enhancing their ultra-long-haul offerings.
