Singapore Airlines is considering an all-business class offering for its non-stop flights between Singapore and both Los Angeles and New York Newark.
SIA's existing non-stop flights on the two routes are operated with Airbus A340-500s in two classes, business and executive economy. The five 181-seat A340-500s are the only aircraft in SIA's fleet with the executive economy product.
The carrier has been assessing the feasibility of switching to an all-business class configuration for the aircraft, as the ultra-long-haul flights are primarily targeted at business travellers.
But it stresses that a switch to entirely business class "is something we are only considering at this point [and] have not made a decision to go down this path".
