Singapore Airlines launches all-business services

Far Eastern carrier will launch flights with just 100 of its new business class flat seats across the Pacific to LA and New York

Mark Frary

The trend for all-business-class services shows no signs of abating after Singapore Airlines announced it was to launch premium-only services from Singapore to both Los Angeles and New York.

The airline said this week it would convert five long-range Airbus A340-500s to hold just 100 of its new business class seats, the same as on its A380 and Boeing 777-300ER services.

The 30-inch wide seats will be arranged in a 1-2-1 configuration giving all passengers access to the aisle.

The new services will start in May on the New York route and in September to Los Angeles.
