Singapore Airlines unveils new cabin interior for Boeing 787-10 ‘Dreamliner’
First routes – with refreshed interior of 36 lie-flat business-class seats and 301 in economy class – will see aircraft fly to Osaka in Japan, and Perth in Australia
Singapore Airlines, known for its luxurious high-end service, unveiled its newest cabin interior on Wednesday morning.
The refreshed cabin – including a new “regional” business-class seat – was shown to the public for the first time on the company’s brand-new Boeing 787-10 aircraft, which arrived in Singapore after a 23-hour journey from Charleston, South Carolina, in the United States.
Singapore’s new interior for the 337-seat aircraft includes 36 lie-flat seats in business-class and 301 in economy.
The “dash 10” is Boeing’s largest variant yet of its new-age “Dreamliner”.
The 787-10 is stretched 16 feet (4.9 metres) longer than the 787-9 , giving capacity for about 30 extra passengers in a typical layout.
The plane that arrived at Singapore on Wednesday is the first of 49 that Singapore Airlines has ordered from Boeing.
It was delivered to Singapore Airlines in South Carolina on Sunday before leaving for the carrier’s headquarters. It is the first 787-10 to be delivered.
