Next year, 2020, would be very important in the history of Singapore Airlines.
The reason for that is Singapore Airlines would become the first-ever international carrier to introduce Boeing 787-10 aircraft on the Chennai- Singapore sector. It must be taken into account that Airbus A330-300 would be replaced by this Boeing 787-10 aircraft.

By 1st of June 2020, the number of flights per week would increase progressively to 17 by taking into account the Silk Air, which is its subsidiary. It is worthy to note that this Boeing 787-10 has been made using lightweight composite materials and this 68 m aircraft is the longest variant of Boeing`s Dreamliner range of aircraft.
Other features of this Boeing 787-10 are its exceptional operating efficiency and advanced technology. The passengers travelling in this aircraft would feel very peaceful and comfortable as the aircraft would have electronically dimmable windows, with cleaner air. Point to be taken into account is Boeing 787-10 are configured with 337 seats in 2 classes featuring 36 business class seats and 301 economy class seats.
An amount of 350 million USD has been invested by Singapore Airlines in the introduction of new regional cabin products on an initial twenty 787-10`s. Important information is cabin products feature fully-flat beds, direct aisle success for all the business class passengers, ergonomically-designed contour backrests with 6-way adjustable headrests in economy class. The passengers would also get IFE or in-flight entertainment experience.
