In love with Singapore’s diverse culture and delicious hawker food? Get excited, because you could be filling your boots before even getting to the destination.

Under the Singapore Showcase initiative, SIA has worked with renowned Singapore-based hawker brands to enhance the Airline’s popular local fare options by presenting their distinctive dishes to customers.

As a result, the Airline will be able to offer an even wider range of Singapore’s iconic hawker cuisine on board flights out of Singapore.

This is also a celebration of Singapore’s Hawker Culture, which was added to the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2021.

The airline has also partnered with local media production and distribution companies to offer more Singaporean content in its KrisWorld in-flight entertainment system.

SIA says this move will result in an even larger selection of Singaporean movies, documentaries, television series, music, and podcasts for its customers, and introduce some of Singapore’s leading talents to the world.

In addition, Singapore Airlines has worked with Scent by SIX, a Singapore-based artisanal perfume label, to develop a unique signature scent for the airline.

This scent includes floral notes from flowers in SIA’s new batik motif. It will be introduced at key customer-facing locations, helping to create a unique sensory experience for passengers during their journey with us which will elevate their overall customer experience.
