Singapore Airlines today unveiled the luxurious cabin
interior on its new AirbusA380. The cabin was revealed for the first time at
the aircraft delivery in Toulouse, France. Also just relased cabin video see here: Singapore Airlines Airbus A380 Cabin Video
The Singapore Airlines A380 is configured with 471 seats in
three classes, with 12 Singapore
Airlines Suites –
a cabin class beyond First – on the main deck, 60 Business Class on the upper
deck, and 399 Economy Class seats, across both decks. This new cabin design
ensures that the A380 will deliver unprecedented comfort, space and luxury to
Singapore Airlines customers.
The design process began over five years ago, with some of
the Airline’s most frequent travelers invited to participate in workshops to
help the Airline understand what was most important to customers on a new
aircraft.
Some of the new cabin products have already made their
debut, to global acclaim, on Singapore Airlines new Boeing 777-300ER long-haul
aircraft. Coupled with the service of the Singapore Airlines award-winning
cabin crew, the A380 will provide customers in all three classes with a
luxurious travel experience.
Singapore
Airlines Suites
Unrivalled exclusivity and privacy await the privileged
customers who fly Singapore Airlines’ newest cabin product, aboard the Airbus
A380. Introducing the Singapore
Airlines Suites,
a class beyond First, providing the ultimate in luxury and privacy. Setting a
new standard in ultimate premium air travel, the Singapore Airlines Suites features
a bold and unique cabin concept where each Suite is the customer’s private cabin
in the sky. Behind its discrete sliding doors is a spacious and truly personal area,
with lavish furnishing and finishes.
The new Singapore Airlines Suites were designed by leading
French luxury yacht designer Jean-Jacques Coste, whose designs cleverly utilise
space to make the flight experience even more luxurious. The Suites were
manufactured by Jamco
Corporationof Japan and
Sicma Aero Seat
of France.
Elegantly furnished, each of the Singapore Airlines Suites
opens up to a plush and luxurious leather seat, which is almost a metre wide
(with armrest folded away). In a perfect marriage of classic style, ergonomics
and technology, each seat is upholstered by world-renowned Poltrona Frau in the finest leather, with an
elegant pumpkin finish.
The seat is fully adjustable, with a simple-to-use
electronic control panel to accommodate a variety of sitting and lounging
positions. For those who want to sleep, a full-sized flat bed, with plush
mattress, is built into each individual Singapore Airlines Suite, and does not
utilise the seat as part of the sleeping surface. Lavish Givenchy-designed duvets and cushions
ensure customers can drift into peaceful and comfortable sleep. For couples
traveling, the beds in the middle two seats can be converted to an optional
double bed.
The intelligent design of the full flat bed not only offers
customers the choice to rest in their preferred sleeping positions, but also
allows them to sit or lounge in bed as they might in the comfort and privacy of
their own home - with the option to read or catch movies on their personal 58
centimetre (23-inch) LCD screen.
For customers who need to catch up on work on board, their
Singapore Airlines Suite can be transformed into a stylish office in the sky.
Each Singapore Airlines Suite includes a chaise lounge for companion seating,
ambient and mood lighting, luggage stowage space and a personal coat closet.
In addition to working in complete privacy, each Singapore
Airlines Suite comes furnished with a generously wide and height-adjustable
table which can function as a workstation, meeting table or large dining table.
Customers with laptops can tap into the in-seat power
supply, while customers with just a thumb-drive can also get work done by
plugging into the USB ports and utilising the comprehensive suite of office
tools available on KrisWorld; Singapore Airlines’
award-winning inflight entertainment system.
Completing the luxurious experience is the exclusive
Ferragamo amenities kit which is presented to every Singapore Airlines Suites
customer on long haul flights.
Exclusively available on the A380, the amenities kit
features the latest fragrance, F by Salvatore Ferragamo, Ferragamo lip balm,
hand cream and facial mist.
Business Class
Customers can look forward to experiencing the world’s
widest business class seat on the Singapore Airlines A380. Designed by James Park Associates (JPA) of the UK and manufactured for
Singapore Airlines by Koito
of Japan, the
seat has already won acclaim since being fitted to the Airline’s Boeing
777-300ER fleet last year.
Because of the increased cabin width on the A380, the seats
will be even larger. Measuring 86 centimetres (34 inches) in width, the
Business Class seat can be transformed into a comfortable full-flat bed for a
good night’s sleep. Innovative design of the bed enhances sleeping comfort, and
also allows customers to lounge in bed to watch TV or eat, as they might at
home.
Seats in the Business Class cabin are arranged in a forward
facing, four-abreast (1-2-1) configuration that offers all customers direct
access to the aisle. The fixed back shell on every seat can be extended to the
sides for greater personal privacy.
Other features include a 39-centimetre (15.4-inch) LCD
screen fully equipped with USB ports and in-seat power, exclusively designed
bedding and dining-ware by Givenchy, an enlarged dining table that
is height-adjustable, as well as trolley bag stowage under the seat.
Economy Class
The new Singapore Airlines Economy Class seat offers
greater comfort through improved seat design and the use of new, lighter and
thinner materials. The new seats, designed and built by Weber (USA), provide more personal space,
legroom and knee-room.
Customers can catch the latest movies on KrisWorld on a larger 27-centimetre
(10.6-inch) screen in each seat. A USB port is also available at each seat to
allow customers to access the enhanced functionalities on KrisWorld.
Other intelligent features include the non-intrusive
reading light installed underneath the seatback screen, personal storage space
for spectacles and small personal items, a coat hook, foot rest and in-seat
power supply.
General Cabin
Amenity
Besides the spaciousness of the cabin, the low cabin noise
inflight and special lighting features in the Singapore Airlines Suites and
Business Class convey a sense of serenity and relaxation.
A Passenger Corner is specially created for Business Class
customers, to pick up snacks between meals and socialise during the flight.
Also featured on the aircraft are larger, more luxuriously furnished and
brighter lavatories in the Business Class and Singapore Airlines Suites cabins.
KrisWorld
Enhancing the inflight experience is KrisWorld, Singapore Airlines’
award-winning
inflight entertainment system.
The new KrisWorld
is fitted onto
the Airline’s A380 and B777-300ER fleet, and will provide a wide selection of
entertainment options, including 100 movies, more than 180 popular TV
programmes, a library of 700 music CDs, music channels and many learning
applications. Singapore Airlines is the first airline in the world to offer 3D games
on the inflight entertainment system. Exclusive to Singapore Airlines, a
comprehensive suite of office applications is also available on KrisWorld, allowing customers to work
during the flight: they can save their work at the end of the trip simply by
plugging in a USB thumb drive.
Food &
Beverage
New and exciting menus for all three classes on the A380
are created by top chefs from the Airline’s International Culinary Panel,
including Sam Leong from Singapore, Matt Moran from Australia, Gordon Ramsay
from the UK, and Georges Blanc from France.
Wines are selected by the Airline’s panel of world-renowned
wine experts; Karen MacNeil from the United States, Steven Spurrier from the
United Kingdom and Michael Hill-Smith from Australia.

of fine bone chinaware, and full-sized crystal ware and silverware, designed by
