SIA to upgrade SilkAir cabins in preparation for merger

SIA has said it will invest more than $100m to upgrade cabins in its regional subsidiary SilkAir that “will ultimately see it merged into SIA”. SilkAir cabins will be upgraded by installing lie-flat seats in business class and seat-back televisions in both business and economy class starting in 2020 with the merger taking place once a “sufficient number” of aircraft have been upgraded. SilkAir flies to 49 destinations in 16 countries in Asia and Australia. <br/>
