Singapore Airlines announces new Boeing routes

Singapore Airlines has announced additional flight paths for its new Boeing 777-300ER aircraft.

The aircraft is set to enter into service in December this year and will begin on a route to Paris.

It will also fly to Hong Kong, Barcelona, Zurich, San Francisco and Frankfurt with varying frequency.

The new planes feature brand new cabin products designed to make passengers' journeys more comfortable.

"The flights we have chosen are popular with our business customers, who will welcome the extra comfort features, space and privacy of our new business and first class," comments Huang Cheng Eng, executive vice president of marketing and the regions for Singapore Airlines.

"Our economy class customers will also notice the improvement in seat design, creating more room, as well as features which make the journey much more comfortable for them."

Earlier this month, the airline announced that its Boeing 777-300ER and Airbus A380 aircraft will soon feature interior furnishings and amenities designed by Givenchy.
