Singapore Airlines (SIA) is enhancing its in-flight entertainment experience with next-generation KrisWorld and high-speed connectivity, giving customers more choice, control, and flexibility throughout their journeys.
The upgraded KrisWorld system will feature 4K high-resolution touchscreen displays, including OLED screens on selected aircraft and cabin classes. Other enhancements include spatial audio, active noise-cancellation headphones, Bluetooth pairing for personal headphones, a redesigned user interface, a new wellness planner, personalisation features, and more than 2,500 entertainment options.
These features will bring movies, television shows, music, and other content to life through sharper visuals and richer, more dimensional sound with greater depth and clarity. Customers will also have more control over how they enjoy their time on board.
Mr Yeoh Phee Teik, Senior Vice President Customer Experience, Singapore Airlines, said: “Our customers told us that they wanted more choice and flexibility in how they spend their time on board, as well as entertainment and connectivity that fit more naturally into their journey. This guided the development of SIA’s next-generation KrisWorld and connectivity offering, which make it easier to discover and enjoy content, stay in touch with loved ones, and move seamlessly between entertainment and other activities during the flight.”
