SIA Turns Airbus A380 into a Restaurant; Opens Training Facilities to Public

Singapore Airlines (SIA) has launched three initiatives that have been specially curated for customers and fans in Singapore over the next few weeks.

The Restaurant A380 @Changi offers an exclusive dining experience inside an Airbus A380, the world’s largest passenger aircraft.

Diners can choose from special menus for each cabin class. Options include signature international cuisine, as well as the best dishes from SIA’s special Peranakan menu that has been designed by acclaimed Singaporean chef Shermay Lee.

All diners will receive KrisShop discounts, a limited edition goodie bag and additional gifts if they turn up in traditional heritage wear.

Limited slots for an exclusive pre-lunch tour of the A380 will also be available.

Reservations will start on 12 October 2020, and Restaurant A380 @Changi will operate on 24 and 25 October 2020.

Over two weekends in November during the school holidays, Inside Singapore Airlines will provide an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of SIA’s training facilities with a wide range of activities for the entire family.

 Visitors will be brought on a tour of more than 70 years of SIA’s history, get an opportunity to interact with pilots and cabin crew, and find out more about the intensive training that they undergo.

Children will get to enjoy craft activities such as balloon sculpting and making their own batik roses. They will also have the option to dress up and role play as cabin crew, and take home their very own SIA sarong kebaya uniform.

Adults can choose to operate a full flight simulator, taste some premium in-flight wine labels, and attend a grooming workshop. A selection of the most popular meals that are served on board SIA flights will also be on sale.

 Bookings open on 1 November 2020, and the tours will be held on 21, 22, 28 and 29 November 2020.

SIA@Home is for customers who are keen to enjoy the world-renowned SIA in-flight dining experience in the comfort of their own home.

There is a choice of 10 menus featuring exclusive First Class and Business Class meals, which will come complete with wine or champagne. Limited edition dining ware and amenities are also available depending on the package chosen.

 The special cabin crew concierge service for SIA@Home bookings opens on 5 October 2020.

All three experiences will be exclusively available for booking via the KrisShop website. KrisFlyer members can redeem their miles to pay for the experiences or earn miles on their purchases.

“With COVID19 drastically reducing the number of flights operated by the SIA Group, we have created unique activities that would allow us to engage with our fans and customers during this time. These experiences offer something for everyone – from frequent flyers who miss our world-class in-cabin products and service, to couples and families who want an exclusive dining experience, and parents who are after an enjoyable activity-filled day with their children during the school holidays,” said SIA Chief Executive Officer Mr Goh Choon Phong. “There has been a lot of interest in our customer engagement initiatives over the last few weeks, and I would like to thank everyone for their great ideas and suggestions. We are very encouraged by and grateful for the enthusiasm and passion that we have seen. All of us are eagerly looking forward to welcoming you to discover your Singapore Airlines.”
