The first retrofitted A350-900 is expected to enter service in 2026, with the entire programme scheduled for completion by 2030.

CEO Goh Choon Phong highlighted the airline’s commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction, noting that these upgrades reflect extensive customer insights. The programme will ensure that SIA maintains its reputation for service excellence and sets new benchmarks in luxury and comfort for global travellers.
