Singapore Airlines weighs changes to new business-class seat colors
What's new: After backlash over the gray-and-yellow design, the carrier said it will assess what changes are feasible to its S$2 billion cabin overhaul.
Singapore Airlines is considering whether to revise the color scheme of its newly introduced long-haul business-class seats after criticism centered on their gray-and-yellow look. CEO Goh Choon Phong told staff the airline would review what is feasible, even as it defended the design choices as part of a contemporary cabin concept. The business-class seats, developed with Recaro and Designworks, add sliding privacy doors, a full-flat bed, an electronically powered center divider and a larger screen. The cabin revamp is part of a more than S$2 billion investment covering first class, business class, premium economy and economy, with first-class suites and other upgrades also planned.
