SIA’s
Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner
On 1 January 2019,
Singapore Airlines will deploy the Boeing 787-10 on one of the two daily Taipei-Singapore
flights. Constructed using
lightweight composite materials, the 68-metre 787-10 is the longest variant of
Boeing’s Dreamliner range of aircraft. SIA is the
world’s first airline to operate the 787-10, and will be the first carrier to
operate it to Taiwan.
With exceptional operating
efficiency and advanced technology, the newest addition to the Airline’s fleet
is designed to offer a more tranquil cabin experience. Customers can look forward to customisable
lighting preferences with large electronically dimmable windows, cleaner air,
and a quieter and smoother ride.
The 787-10 features
SIA’s new regional cabin products, configured with 337 seats in two classes,
featuring 36 Business Class and 301 Economy Class seats.
Business Class
The new medium-haul
Business Class seats have been manufactured by Stelia Aerospace and are
arranged in a forward-facing 1-2-1 staggered configuration to provide every
customer direct aisle access. With each seat able to recline directly into a
76” fully-flat bed, Business Class customers can rest in more comfort, even on
the shortest flights. Each seat measures up to 26” in width with retractable
armrests that can be raised and lowered.
Whether travelling
alone or with a partner, adjustable dividers at the centre seats provide for a
customised level of privacy to suit individual preferences.
Customers can also
look forward to other features to enhance their travelling experience, such as
ample stowage space for personal items, a business panel with in-seat power
supply and USB ports, an integrated reading light unit with adjustable lighting
intensity and a personal 18” full high-definition touchscreen monitor.
Economy Class
The new Economy Class
seat has been designed and built by RECARO and also offers customers an
enhanced in-flight experience.

six-way adjustable headrest with foldable wings to provide more neck support.
Economy Class
