From August 2021, travellers on Singapore Airlines (SIA) flights will enjoy the Singapore Showcase, showcasing the Best Of Singapore to passengers. This initiative supports leading Singaporean brands in a collaboration offering a unique on ground and in-flight experiences for its global customer base.

The Best Of Singapore

As a result, the Airline is offering an enlarged range of Singapore’s iconic hawker cuisine on board. Singapore Airlines and SATS, the airline’s catering partner, have collaborated with several leading Singaporean hawker brands on this initiative. This will see some of their distinctive and award-winning dishes being offered to customers. But you’ll have to be flying First or Business class to enjoy them.  Starting from September 2021, each hawker dish will be available on rotation on selected flights out of Singapore. This is also a celebration of Singapore’s Hawker Culture, which was added to the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2021.

The carrier has also partnered local media production and distribution companies to offer more Singaporean content in its KrisWorld in-flight entertainment system. You’ll enjoy entertainment from distributor companies like Encore Inflight, Mediacorp, and MM2 Entertainment, shining a spotlight on locally directed and produced media. This will result in a larger selection of Singaporean movies, documentaries, television series, music, and podcasts for travellers and introduce some of Singapore’s leading talents to the world. They’ll be available on KrisWorld, SIA’s in-flight entertainment system from August 2021.

SIA has also worked with Scent by SIX, a Singapore-based artisanal perfume label, to develop a unique signature scent for the airline. This scent includes floral notes from flowers in SIA’s new batik motif. It will be introduced at key customer-facing locations, helping to create a unique sensory experience for passengers during their journey with us which will elevate their overall customer experience. You’ll be able to purchase SIA’s Signature Scent, Batik Flora by Singapore Airlines exclusively on KrisShop.com from October 2021. The scent will be available as reed diffusers, pillow mists, and an eau de toilette fragrance.
