‘Sit back, relax & enjoy flying’
Singapore Airlines (SIA) welcomed the newest member to its fleet — the Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner — during an event at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3 in Pasay City recently.
The arrival ceremony was graced by Singaporean Ambassador Kok Li
Peng. Guests celebrated the arrival of the aircraft at the Dignitaries Lounge with music, entertainment, champagne and a range of food inspired by the different destinations SIA’s 787-10 serves. They were also given an exclusive tour of the aircraft.
Singapore Airlines Philippines general manager Balagopal Kunduvara said, “Today’s milestone represents our commitment and dedication to constantly provide our customers with a premium travel experience like no other. SIA is the largest customer for the 787-10, with firm orders for 49 of the type. Customers now have more reason to sit back, relax and enjoy flying with us.”
Business Class passengers can rest in a seat that reclines directly into a 76” fully flat bed, even on the shortest flights. Economy Class passengers can enjoy traveling in comfort on seats with an ergonomically designed contour backrest, together with a six-way adjustable headrest and foldable wings to provide more neck support.
All passengers on the new 787-10s will have greater control over their in-flight entertainment experience through my Kris World, including content recommendations based on customer preferences and viewing history. Kris Flyer members will be able to bookmark and resume content, as well as customize and save preferences for subsequent flights.
The new aircraft is also equipped with in-flight Wi-Fi supported by Panasonic’s Global Communication Services and GSM phone services provided by Panasonic’s wholly owned subsidiary Aeromobile.
Business Class passengers can pick from a wide array of gourmet choices with “Book the Cook,” where they can preselect their meal up to 24 hours before their flight, for flights from Singapore.
SIA’s 787-10s will be used on flights up to eight hours and have commenced services between Singapore and both Osaka and Perth since May, and Bali this month, with more destinations to be added as additional aircraft are received.
