SIA chooses Airbus for A380 interior retrofits

SIA has picked Airbus to provide cabin retrofit services for 14 A380s now in service with the carrier. The retrofit program, which SIA Engineering will undertake in Singapore, will see the airline’s recently launched cabin products installed on the aircraft. Schedules call for the new cabin products to debut on five new A380s delivered this year and next year. Under the agreement, Services by Airbus will take responsibility for Service Bulletin (SB) and aircraft cabin parts-kit delivery. Its teams will also contribute their A380 design knowledge and engineering expertise to integrate SIA’s customized cabin fittings into the A380’s double-deck interior. Airbus expects the retrofit work to start in late 2018 and complete all 14 aircraft by 2020.<br/>
