Its regional sister airline, SilkAir, operates to more than 30 destinations in Asia. Singapore Airlines is known for its excellent standard in services and it often gets voted as the best airline, or one of the best airlines, in the world in passenger surveys. Its prices are relatively high compared to some other carriers on the same routes, but Singapore Airlines is famous for high quality service, including personal TV screens and a choice of meals in the Economy Class.
The symbol of the airline’s high standards in customer service is the Singapore Girl, the name given to its stewardesses. The airline was founded in 1972 from the former Malaysia-Singapore Airlines.
It grew from a regional airline to one of the biggest international airlines in the world and it claims to be the first airline to have offered free headsets, free drinks and a choice of meals in Economy Class. It also claims that it was the first airline to offer video and audio on demand in 2001.
Singapore Airlines was also the first airline in the world to use the Airbus A380, the biggest passenger plane currently in operation.

The different classes on Singapore Airlines

Classes Singapore Airlines offers four different classes of travel: Economy, Business, First, and Suites.
