NEW YORK, May 15 /PRNewswire/ — Singapore Airlines announced the
first-ever flights featuring iPod and iPhone connectivity on KrisWorld
starting today on its newly reconfigured, all-Business Class Airbus
A340-500 flights between New York and Singapore, and between Los Angeles
and Singapore from August.
Customers can now easily enjoy their personal audio and video content
from their iPod or iPhone on Singapore Airlines’ KrisWorld in-flight
entertainment system. Each seat features a 15.4-inch widescreen LCD screen
which is perfect for watching television shows and movies, as well as
active noise-cancellation headphones.
“Customers on our all-business class Airbus A340-500 flights now have
an incredible way to enjoy their own iPod and iPhone music and video on the
KrisWorld in-flight entertainment system,” said Yap Kim Wah, Senior
Vice-President Product & Services, for Singapore Airlines. “This is yet
another example of our philosophy of creating customer satisfaction by
providing an enhanced sense of choice and control.”
“The iPod is the world’s most popular digital music player and iPhone
is a revolutionary mobile device, and they have become essential for
millions of travelers,” said Greg Joswiak, Apple’s vice president of iPod &
iPhone Product Marketing. “Singapore Airlines’ customers can now enjoy
their music, TV shows and movies on their iPod and iPhone through the
in-flight entertainment system.”
The integrated 9-pin connection on KrisWorld uses a unique in-flight
cable that supports iPod and iPhone via the 30-pin connector, including
in-seat power supply and high quality audio. iPod and iPhone will still
allow for the announcements and instructions made by Singapore Airlines
cabin crew and pilots to be heard even while content is being played.
Customers can take advantage of iPhone’s airplane mode to safely use the
iPhone through the integrated system.
iPod and iPhone integration will commence with Singapore Airlines’ A345
non-stop flights from Newark - Singapore on May 15, and on the carrier’s
Los Angeles - Singapore non-stops from August.
Consistently rated as the world’s best international airline by the
readers of both Conde Nast Traveler and Travel+Leisure magazines, Singapore
Airlines operates one of the industry’s youngest, most fuel-efficient
aircraft fleets to a network of 66 destinations in 35 countries.
