The airline currently operates four flights per week on the Colombo- Singapore route and expects to increase the frequency to daily flights by end of October.
Constructed using lightweight composite materials, the 68-metre B787-10 is the longest variant of Boeing’s Dreamliner range. Passengers can look forward to a comfortable journey, experiencing large electronically dimmable windows, low cabin altitude, generous headroom, and a quiet and smooth ride.
With exceptional operating efficiency and advanced technology, the B787-10 aircraft is also environmentally friendly with a small carbon footprint. The operation of a young fleet of new generation aircraft reaffirms Singapore Airlines’ long-standing commitment towards sustainability.
Singapore Airlines’ Boeing 787-10s are fitted with 337 seats across two classes (36 lie-flat seats in Business Class on 1-2-1 seating configuration and 301 seats in Economy Class on 3-3-3 seating configuration).
Compared to the previously operated Airbus A350, the Boeing B787-10 brings 34 more seats and additional cargo capacity, contributing to tourism in Sri Lanka and facilitating imports and exports.
In celebration of this milestone, Singapore Airlines has partnered Sri Lankan Catering to offer a commemorative inflight dining menu from 27 March to 30 June 2023.
