Available on the new B777-300 aircraft flying to Singapore from New Delhi and Mumbai, the new cabin products were developed by the carrier along with London-based leading transportation interior designer James Park Associates at an investment of $360 million. 
    
Singapore Airlines General Manager in India C W Foo said the carrier has introduced its best products on two Indian routes as the country stood very high on its list of priority markets across the world.     

"India is very important for us. It is one of the top five markets for us. India has most Singapore Airlines cities amongst our network. We have operations in eight Indian cities. That's the most," Foo said.     

The new 278-seater, which has replaced Boeing 777-300 night flight from the routes, features fully flat bed cum seats in First Class and Business Class, more spacious Economy Class seats as well as a cutting edge inflight entertainment system featuring the widest TV screens ever seen in all three classes, Foo said.     

Asked how Singapore Airlines had managed to invest more on passenger amenities when major airlines across the world were resorting to cost cutting measures due to surge in prices of aviation fuel, Foo said India was a priority market for the carrier, which believed in long term planning.
