10 SUITES

The first class suite, which has been introduced by several airlines in the new A380s, is designed to offer a superior first class experience. Singapore Airlines was among the first carriers to adopt the idea and so far the service seems to be very successful.

“Those who’ve flown on the new A380 are very happy with the aircraft, particularly those flying in the first class suites,” says Meow-Seng Lim, the airline’s regional manager. Privacy and space are the two most important aspects of the 12 suites onboard the Singapore A380. “Passengers are able to wander around, eat when they like, have access to an expansive entertainment system on a personal 23-inch widescreen TV and even invite others into their suite if they desire,” he adds.

According to Stefanie von Linstow, Airbus’ product marketing manager for the A380, the aircraft manufacturing company based its cabin designs on market research. “We  have talked to the airlines and the passengers for some time and we’ve been working on different aspects of the A380 since 1996. We first put in LED mood lighting on the A340-600 then we further enhanced the system for the A380 so we can offer four scenarios of lighting inside every cabin and they all have a different purpose,” she says.
