“With COVID-19 drastically reducing the number of flights operated by the SIA Group, we have created unique activities that would allow us to engage with our fans and customers during this time,” Goh Choon Phong, CEO of Singapore Airlines (SIA) said.
Those who wish to dine aboard the double-decker A380, the world’s largest passenger aircraft, can choose between different cabin classes and menus designed by international chefs. Customers will be given goodie bags and those who wear traditional clothing to dine will receive additional gifts.
If customers opt to have the plane food delivered to their home, they will receive welcome videos, guides on how to heat and plate the dishes and “a specially curated playlist to recreate the SIA onboard experience”, the airline said.
