Singapore Airlines Partners Unitel Classica of Munich

Singapore Airlines has partnered Unitel Classica, a leading producer and distributor of classical music based in Munich.

Beginning from October 2010, the classical music selection on KrisWorld, Singapore Airlines’ inflight entertainment system, will feature content exclusive to the airline.

Flights equipped with the latest Panasonic eX2 system will offer twelve classical concerts from Unitel Classica. Of these, eight will be new releases with six shown only on SIA flights, whereas the others will be picked from Unitel’s library of evergreen compositions.

Featured under KrisWorld’s Stage Performances category, the twelve concerts and theatre performances will be refreshed with a new selection every four months.

“This exclusive collaboration with Unitel Classica is introduced because of the increasingly sophisticated preferences of our customers and, as always, we will continue our search for content that adds value to our inflight entertainment system for the benefit of our customers,” said Mr Yap Kim Wah, Senior Vice President Product and Services.
