Singapore Airlines launches Daily Airbus A330-300 Flights to Nagoya

Singapore Airlines has launched daily Airbus A330-300 services between Singapore and Nagoya, Japan. The daily services replace the airline’s five times weekly Boeing 777 operations on the route.

The A330-300 flights to Nagoya take off from Singapore’s Changi Airport at 0100 hrs to arrive at Central Japan International Airport at 0830hrs (all times local).

Nagoya is the first Japanese city to receive Singapore Airlines’ A330-300 aircraft. Osaka will be the second when the airline replaces its daily Boeing 777 services to Osaka with A330-300 services in early 2010.

Singapore Airlines currently operates A330-300 services to and from three Australian cities, i.e. Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide.

The Singapore Airlines A330-300 is configured in a two-class layout with 30 new Business Class seats and 255 Economy Class seats.

The Business Class cabin is laid out in a 2-2-2 configuration (distinct from the existing Boeing 777 on these routes, which is in 2-3-2 layout) and features a new Business Class seat, specially designed for regional and medium-haul routes. The seat converts to an incline lie-flat bed and offers enhanced levels of comfort, privacy and functionality.

The Economy Class cabin is laid out in a 2-4-2 configuration. Featured are the new generation Singapore Airlines Economy Class seats, currently available on the airline’s Boeing 777-300ER and A380 aircraft. They are ergonomically designed to provide customers with improved comfort, more personal space and increased legroom.

All seats will feature the new KrisWorld, Singapore Airlines’ inflight entertainment system, and even iPod and iPhone connectivity in every seat, including Economy Class.

Singapore Airlines currently has eight A330-300s in its fleet, with another 11 A330-300s due to be delivered between now and 2010.
