Singapore Airlines was named the world's best airline by Skytrax in 2026 — but they're not resting on their laurels.

The airline is investing over S$2 billion, or around $1.5 billion, to overhaul its long-haul experience across all cabins, from economy to first class, including its in-flight entertainment system, Starlink WiFi, food and beverage offerings, amenity kits, and more.

"When we set out to do this, our vision is to redefine long-haul travel, to create a journey that's more comfortable, personal, and intuitive for the customers," Ong Wah Li, vice president of product experience at Singapore Airlines, told Business Insider.

Starting in the second half of 2027, the new seats and cabin products will be introduced on select Boeing and Airbus jets in Singapore Airlines' fleet. Its future Boeing 777-9s — which are set to deliver in 2027 but are still awaiting certification from the Federal Aviation Administration — will feature all four redesigned cabins.

The Airbus A350-900 and the A350-900ULR (ultra-long-range) will be upgraded with the new business class, and the A350-900ULR will also get first class for the first time.
