Travelling with Singapore Airlines in the New Normal

MUMBAI/ NATIONAL, 24 OCTOBER, 2021 (GPN): Singapore Airlines (SIA) has focused on reimagining and enhancing the travel experience for our customers over the last 20 months. We prioritised the integration of robust health and safety measures and innovative digital initiatives into the end-to-end journey, providing greater reassurance and supporting a more seamless travel experience during these times.

Our health and safety measures have also been recognised by several industry-level awards, such as the SkyTrax 5-Star Health and Safety rating and Diamond rating in APEX Health Safety audit.

Together with our award-winning in-flight products and service, this ensures our customers continue to enjoy a world-class experience on board Singapore Airlines with peace of mind.
