Singapore Airlines Ltd will spend $1.6 billion to overhaul long-haul cabins, introducing larger double-bed suites and sliding privacy doors across 72 aircraft. The investment marks the largest cabin upgrade in the carrier's history as luxury travel demand remains resilient. Premium upgrades help offset margin pressure from fuel costs and economy-class softness.
