Singapore Airlines adjusts its First Class and Suites distribution for the 2025/26 winter season:

- Dubai maintains year round First Class on SQ494/495 using 77W aircraft.
- Frankfurt sees a downgrade on SQ326/325 from A380 to 77W mid-January 2026, resulting in dual daily 2013 F operations.
- Jakarta doubles First Class flights, adding SQ962/963 and SQ968/951 with 2013 F seats.
- Shanghai upgrades SQ830/833 to A380 with 2017 Suites in February 2026.
- Sydney adds a fourth daily First Class flight on SQ241/242 in February 2026 using 77W.
Remaining Seat Types
Singapore Airlines streamlines to two premium products. The 2013 First Class seats equip Boeing 777-300ER aircraft. The 2017 Suites feature on Airbus A380s, following refits that retired the 2007 Suites and 2006 First Class cabins.
New First Class seats debut on Airbus A350 ULR and Boeing 777-9 aircraft from 2027.
