SINGAPORE, Nov 6 — Singapore Airlines (SIA) will start installing its next-generation first- and business-class seats on its Airbus A350-900 fleet from the second half of 2027, slightly later than its earlier target of the first quarter of 2027, The Straits Times reported.
SIA said industry-wide supply constraints and a delay in certifying the new seats had pushed back the upgrades, according to the Singapore daily.
The first A350-900 long-haul aircraft with the new seats was originally expected to carry passengers in the second quarter of 2026, with the ultra-long-range version of the A350-900 to follow in 2027.
The new economy and premium economy seats will be fitted only on SIA’s new Boeing 777-9 aircraft, the report said.
