Singapore Airlines has delayed the rollout of upgraded First and Business Class seats on its Airbus A350-900 fleet to early 2027, citing supply chain and certification challenges, according to a Bloomberg report. The airline said the launch has been postponed from the second quarter of 2026 to the first quarter of 2027 due to “chronic global supply chain constraints and certification issues affecting one of the seat types,” the company said in an emailed statement, as quoted by Bloomberg.
The upgrade is part of a broader S$1.1 billion investment plan to overhaul cabin interiors across its fleet. The new configuration will cover multiple cabin classes, from First Class to Economy, and will be introduced on 41 Airbus A350 aircraft, including ultra-long-haul routes such as Singapore–New York.
