Singapore Airlines, recognized for its customer service and onboard comfort, continues to expand the use of its Airbus A350 fleet across more than 20 routes worldwide. According to data from Cirium, Singapore Airlines is currently the largest operator of the Airbus A350, with a fleet comprising 58 A350-900s and seven ultra-long-range (ULR) A350-900ULRs.

The airline's A350s are configured in three different layouts. The standard A350-900 offers up to 303 seats in a mix of business, premium economy, and economy classes. The ULR variant is tailored for longer flights, providing only business and premium economy seating to reduce weight and improve passenger comfort on flights lasting up to 18 hours.

Singapore Airlines has begun upgrading its A350 cabins as part of a $1.1 billion retrofit announced in October 2024. This upgrade will introduce first class cabins on the A350-900ULR for the first time. Goh Choon Phong, Chief Executive Officer of Singapore Airlines, said,

"Over the past six years, we have extensively engaged customers and stakeholders in the design of our next-generation long-haul cabin products, anticipating their evolving preferences and expectations down to the finest detail. The new First Class and Business Class seat designs will incorporate thoughtful elements that push the boundaries of comfort, luxury, and modernity, allowing our customers to relax or work effortlessly on board. Premium Economy Class and Economy Class customers can also look forward to refreshed cabin interiors that enhance their travel experience."

The airline operates four ultra-long-range routes from Singapore Changi Airport (SIN) using its Airbus A350s: New York John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), and San Francisco International Airport (SFO). The SIN-JFK route is currently the world's longest commercial flight at 9,487 miles.

In Europe, Singapore Airlines serves Manchester Airport (MAN), Brussels Airport (BRU), Amsterdam Schiphol Airport (AMS), Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP), Rome Fiumicino Airport (FCO), Copenhagen Airport (CPH), and Istanbul Airport (IST) with its A350-900s. Previously linked via Houston George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH), the Manchester route now operates as a terminator service after changes made in April 2025.

Elsewhere, Singapore Airlines uses its A350s on flights to Johannesburg O.R. Tambo International Airport (JNB) in South Africa; Christchurch Airport (CHC) and Auckland Airport (AKL) in New Zealand; as well as several Australian cities including Brisbane, Cairns, Melbourne, and Sydney.

Shorter regional routes operated by the carrier’s Airbus A350s include destinations such as Sapporo in Japan; Dubai; Tokyo Haneda; Seoul Incheon; Mumbai; Shanghai Pudong; Malé in Maldives; Hyderabad; Bengaluru; Kolkata; Hong Kong; Manila; Hanoi; Bangkok; Surabaya in Indonesia; and Kuala Lumpur.

Beyond the Airbus A350 fleet, Singapore Airlines maintains a widebody-dominated operation with aircraft such as the Airbus A380—of which it remains one of the world’s leading operators—the Boeing 777-300ER slated for replacement by incoming Boeing 777-9s starting in 2026, as well as Boeing 787-10s used primarily on shorter Asia-Pacific routes. Its narrowbody operations rely mainly on Boeing 737 variants.

Singapore Airlines was founded in 1972 and is a member of Star Alliance.
