Singapore Airlines backs new business class seat palette despite mixed feedback

Singapore Airlines defended the design of its new business-class seats, saying the mineral-grey and bright-yellow colour palette and the materials were selected deliberately and that the airline is monitoring passenger feedback as the cabin rollout starts in 2027. The seats are part of a US$2 billion cabin refresh that has drawn both praise for added privacy and criticism of the colour scheme on social media after the redesign was unveiled. Earlier reports noted the airline’s intent to project a modern, progressive image with the new cabin.
