Singapore Airlines plans to introduce a four-seat First Class cabin across its seven Airbus A350-900ULRs through a retrofit programme announced in November 2024. The aircraft will use the same new First Class seat design planned for the Boeing 777-9. SIA has released cabin teaser images, with a full product unveiling planned for 2026, alongside new KrisWorld entertainment, dining, amenity kits, soft furnishings, and serviceware.

The original schedule targeted Q1 2027 for the first retrofitted A350-900ULR to enter service and the end of 2030 for completion of the wider A350 retrofit programme. The product unveiling was initially planned for the first half of 2026; SIA’s May 2026 presentation gave the broader window of 2026 without specifying a month.
