            And it seems that the existing Brisbane service is going to be replaced by Regional A350-900 aircraft without Premium Economy

                This was always an assumption I had made. CHC gets the long haul A350 from January 2019 and it had to come from somewhere.

                BNE is the only current A350 destination under 10 hours and with flights that do not occur within a gap between true long haul flights. To explain, MEL, BOM, HND etc do get the A350 but those flights leave SIN early morning and return at night. All A350 true long haul flights include an overnight component. BNE ties up 3 A350s every night for a pair of 8 hour flights- something that the other current medium-haul routes don't do.

                  Here’s the official announcement:

                  SIA To Debut New A350-900 Medium Haul Aircraft On Singapore-Adelaide Route

                  06 September 2018 - Singapore Airlines (SIA) has announced Adelaide as the launch destination for its new Airbus A350-900 medium haul aircraft. Slated to commence daily operations on 17 December 2018, the new A350-900 will operate as SQ279 from Singapore to Adelaide, and return as SQ278, from Adelaide to Singapore, subject to regulatory approval.

                  The new A350-900 medium-haul aircraft will be fitted with 303 seats across two classes, with 40 seats in Business Class and 263 seats in Economy Class. Equipped with the Airline’s recently launched new regional Business Class and Economy Class cabin products, the Business Class cabin boasts a 1-2-1 seat arrangement, providing every customer with direct aisle access, while the Economy Class cabin will be arranged in a 3-3-3 configuration.

                  The A350-900 will be fitted with the latest Thales AVANT inflight entertainment system. Designed with a new user interface that offers a more intuitive user experience and navigation options, customers will be able to enjoy Singapore Airlines’ myKrisWorld personalised in-flight entertainment (IFE) now with even greater control.

                  Customers will receive content recommendations based on their preferences and viewing history, while KrisFlyer members can continue to bookmark and resume content, as well as customise and save preferences and playlists for their subsequent flights. KrisFlyer members and Business Class customers will also have access to additional in-flight entertainment content choices.

                  Complementing this experience, customers can select their choice of playlists from the SingaporeAir mobile app prior to the flight, and transfer these selections to myKrisWorld by pairing their personal electronic devices with the onboard system via Near-Field Communication (NFC).

                  Furthermore, customers will have access to high-speed in-flight WiFi service onboard the new A350-900. The aircraft will be equipped with Inmarsat GX Aviation’s broadband connectivity system, offered through SITAONAIR.

                  Following Adelaide, the A350-900 medium haul aircraft will also be deployed to Brisbane next year, subject to regulatory approval.


                  New Business Class

                  The new medium-haul Business Class seats have been manufactured by Stelia Aerospace and are arranged in a forward-facing 1-2-1 staggered configuration to provide every customer direct aisle access. With each seat able to recline directly into a 76” fully-flat bed, Business Class customers can rest in more comfort, even on the shortest flights. Each seat measures up to 26” in width with retractable armrests that can be raised and lowered.

                  Whether travelling alone or with a partner, adjustable dividers at the centre seats provide for a customised level of privacy to suit individual preferences.

                  Customers can also look forward to other features to enhance their travelling experience, such as ample stowage space for personal items, a business panel with in-seat power supply and USB ports, an integrated reading light unit with adjustable lighting intensity and a personal 17” full high-definition touchscreen monitor.


                  New Economy Class

                  The new Economy Class seat has been designed and built by RECARO and also offers customers an enhanced in-flight experience.

                  Arranged in a 3-3-3 configuration, each of the 263 Economy Class seats has an ergonomically-designed contour backrest that provides greater comfort, and a six-way adjustable headrest with foldable wings to provide more neck support.

                  Economy Class customers can also enjoy an enhanced entertainment experience on their personal 11.6” full high-definition touchscreen monitor, as they browse from the selection of more than 1,000 movies, TV shows, audio programmes and games on myKrisWorld.

                  Other features that Economy Class customers can look forward to include personal storage space for small personal items, a coat hook, USB port and in-seat power supply.
                  The A350-900 features higher ceilings, larger windows, an extra wide body delivering more space and comfort as well as lighting designed to reduce jetlag.

                  Singapore Airlines ordered a total of 67 Airbus A350-900 aircraft, 21 of which are already in the fleet and have been fitted with Business, Premium Economy and Economy Class, long-haul cabin products.

                  In October this year Singapore Airlines will take delivery of the world’s first A350-900 Ultra Long Range (ULR), which will be used to re-start non-stop flights between Singapore and Newark. The ULR aircraft will be fitted with 67 Business Class seats and 94 Premium Economy Class seats.

                  High resolution images of the medium haul cabin product to be featured on the A350-900 as well as video of the aircraft in Singapore Airlines livery can be downloaded from: https://bit.ly/2LZvceD.

                  • KrisFlyer members and Business Class customers will also have access to additional in-flight entertainment content choices.
                    This caught my attention. While anyone can easily sign up for Krisflyer, this is the first time SQ discriminates against a segment of its passengers.

                    • So basically the regional A350 will have the same product as B787 right? Just that we are not sure whether the IFE is Thales or Panasonic?

                          And the Thales IFE screen size in J (17") is advertised as being 1 inch smaller than their Panasonic eX3 counterparts on the 78J...

                            A few comments about this post: While you mention their IFE is going to be from Thales, the dropbox link indicates the seats look pretty much like what you get on the 787-10 and the new A380N.

                            Glad to hear there will be Wifi for regional customers aboard the A350 regional. However, little did I know it was going to be by Sita OnAir. It's likely the same as the one you get no the new A380's (Source is likely a few videos and posts) and a few older 77W.

                            Will the 359ULR have Panasonic or SITA OnAir?

                              So what is the point of this post? Just for the sake of posting ?
                              The IFE n the seats are clearly indicated in the press release.
                              WiFi is also stated clearly is from SitaOnAir.

                              So basically you are quoting a long post to repeat some points n ultimately you just want to know what is the WiFi on ULR?

                                The seats DO look like the ones found on the 787-10 and the new A380. Only the IFE screen differs.
