Airlines A380 Suite Cabin – Double Bed
Mumbai: December 17, 2021 – Singapore Airlines (SIA) is pleased to
announce the return of its iconic Airbus A380 Superjumbo aircraft to India
after a 20-month break in services.
Starting 10 January 2022, the A380 will
replace the Airbus A350-900 on the SQ 424/423 VTL services between Mumbai and
Singapore. Starting 14 February 2022, SIA will operate the A380 in place of the
Boeing 787-10 on the SQ 406/403 VTL services between Delhi and Singapore.
Singapore Airlines A380 Suite (single
passenger)
The Singapore Airlines A380 is configured with
471 seats in four classes: six Suites and 78 Business Class seats on the upper
deck, as well as 44 Premium Economy Class and 343 Economy Class seats on the
main deck.
The six semi-private Suite cabins offer unparalleled
privacy and luxury, complete with privacy doors, an independent swivel chair
and a stand-alone bed with hotel-style evening turndown service. Four of the
Suites can also be combined to form double Suites for couples travelling
together. Suites passengers are offered a choice of Dom Perignon or Krug
Champagnes, sleeper suits and premium amenities from Lalique, as well as meals
served on fine linen and Wedgewood China.
The new Business Class seats can be combined
to create fully lie-flat double beds, all forward-facing and with direct aisle
access. All cabins also enjoy award-winning cuisine, extensive inflight entertainment,
and the famous Singapore Airlines cabin crew service.
Mr Sy Yen Chen, General Manager India,
Singapore Airlines, said, “The return of the A380 to India is a special
occasion for us as this superjumbo aircraft has always been a popular choice
for our customers. Ever since we resumed operations from India, we have seen a
steadily growing demand for our VTL flights to Singapore. We are confident that
the A380, with its larger seat capacity, will be the preferred choice for our
customers seeking comfortable and safe quarantine-free travel to Singapore from
both Mumbai and Delhi.”
He further added, “The A380 will provide more space
and privacy in all classes, featuring bespoke elements designed especially for
the Singapore Airlines customer. We look forward to welcoming our customers
back on board the world’s largest passenger aircraft, where they can once again
enjoy our world-class product and services, including our most luxurious Suite
cabin.”
Singapore
Airlines was the first airline worldwide to fly the A380 superjumbo in October
2007. In late 2017, following an extensive four-year development program, the
Airline launched a multi-million-dollar cabin product upgrade for its A380
aircraft. The new cabin product made its debut in India on 1 September
2019.
SIA
currently operates 48 weekly services from 8 cities across India. These include
daily VTL services from Chennai, Delhi and Mumbai. As mentioned earlier, the
routes that the Singapore Airlines A380 will now operate on are designated
quarantine-free services under Singapore’s
Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) arrangements. Please refer to
Annexe A for A380 flight schedules, effective 10 January 2022, and please refer
to Annexe B for SIA’s current flight schedule from India.

Airlines’ industry-leading digital initiatives and award-winning health

customers, along with flexible booking policies for
customer reassurance.
