Initial reactions to Singapore Airlines’ new long-haul cabins, unveiled on November 6, have been positive regarding the First Class design. However, the bright yellow accents combined with light grey upholstery in Business Class have attracted criticism.
One writer praised the First Class cabin’s batik-patterned walls, bronze accents and pendant lighting. Although critical of the Business Class colour scheme, the writer described the seat as comfortable and practical after testing it for approximately 10 minutes during the unveiling.
Former Singapore Airlines cabin crew member Darshen Kuna also compared the new Business Class seats to dental chairs because of their colour scheme. However, Kuna welcomed the addition of sliding doors, which provide passengers with greater privacy.
Singapore Airlines CEO Goh Choon Phong told employees during a meeting on November 11 that the airline would review feedback on the colours and assess what changes might be possible.
The airline plans to introduce the new cabins gradually from the second half of 2027.
