Singapore Air Delays Luxury Seat Upgrades on Supply Chain Issues

Singapore Airlines Ltd. postponed the introduction of upgraded first and business class seats on its Airbus SE A350-900 fleet, setting it back in efforts to keep pace with rivals competing to be the world’s best airline.

The delay, from the second quarter of this year to the first quarter of 2027, is due to chronic global supply chain constraints and certification issues affecting one of the seat types, the company said in an emailed statement Wednesday.
