Singapore Airlines has successfully upgraded its entire fleet to offer lie-flat Business Class seats on every flight, completing the retirement of older Boeing 737-800s. This fleet-wide enhancement boosts passenger comfort with flat beds, Wi-Fi, personal entertainment, and promises further luxury suite upgrades by 2026, marking a new era in premium travel.

Singapore Airlines has reached a landmark achievement by transitioning its entire fleet to feature fully flat-bed seats in Business Class, ensuring a uniformly luxurious experience on every flight. This milestone was officially marked on October 25, 2025, with the retirement of the last Boeing 737-800 aircraft, previously the only exception in their fleet that had older recliner seats rather than flat beds.

The retirement of these legacy jets, acquired during the airline’s 2021 merger with SilkAir, eliminates the last holdout against full flat-bed seating, fulfilling Singapore Airlines’ vision since 2018 to offer consistent lie-flat comfort across its entire network. This achievement places Singapore Airlines among a very exclusive group of airlines globally that offer flat-bed seats on all domains, including regional and long-haul flights.

Key Highlights:

The last Boeing 737-800, which had outdated recliner Business Class seats without personal entertainment screens or Wi-Fi, was retired on October 25, 2025, completing the transition across the fleet.
Passengers can now expect fully flat-bed seats on all aircraft types, from single-aisle jets to wide-body long-haul planes, significantly enhancing comfort and sleep quality for Business Class travelers.
Alongside this upgrade, all flights now provide personal in-flight entertainment screens and Wi-Fi connectivity, eliminating previous disparities especially on regional flights.
Singapore Airlines plans to introduce a next-generation Business Class suite named “2026 J” starting in the first half of 2026, which will feature sliding privacy doors, enhanced amenities like USB-C charging, wireless charging pads, Bluetooth headphone connectivity, and faster Wi-Fi via low-earth orbit satellite technology.
The upgrade also improves Economy Class experience due to enhanced fleet-wide Wi-Fi and entertainment options, reflecting broader benefits beyond Business Class travelers.
This strategic enhancement supports both long-haul and regional routes, including an ongoing transition of aircraft like the Airbus A350 and more modern jets with improved seat designs and services.
