CLEANER CABIN AIR
Every aircraft in the Singapore Airlines Group fleet is equipped with HEPA* filters, which keep the cabin air clean and remove up to 99.99% of the microbes in the air. Cabin air is also refreshed every 2-3 minutes throughout the flight, while air flow is floor-to-ceiling.
ENHANCED CLEANING
Common surfaces and areas such as windows, tray tables, handsets, in-flight entertainment screens, lavatories and galleys are wiped down with a strong disinfectant. Headsets, headrest covers, pillow covers, bedsheets, and blankets are replaced after every flight.
MEAL SERVICE
Following regulatory requirements, meal services have been suspended for all flights within Southeast Asia and to China and snack bags will be provided as a replacement. For all other flights, meal services have been simplified. Alcohol offerings have also been adjusted across all classes.
The carrier has increased the number of destinations it will be serving on its reduced schedule and also the frequencies on some existing services in June and July 2020. For the UK, London Heathrow-Singapore flights continue to operate 3 times weekly. Whilst immediate travel may not be possible, the airline says it wants "to give our customers the option to book ahead should they wish to. Our complimentary rebooking policy gives customers the flexibility to make date changes with no fees."
For any customer whose travel has been impacted by cancellations and has submitted refund requests for travel up until May, Singapore Airlines "would also like to reassure you that we aim to have these processed and completed in the next 2-3 weeks. Once again, we appreciate the patience and understanding demonstrated where delays have been experienced."
