Buggy rides to departure gates among concierge services for SIA premium passengers in phased trial
The passengers will also be escorted by personal assistants.
Singapore Airlines (SIA) has launched a trial of new concierge services for its first-class and suite passengers, offering buggy rides from the first-class lounge to departure gates, along with fast-tracked security screening processes. This phased trial, which began on August 1, is currently available at Terminals 2 and 3, which host first-class lounges, and will soon extend to arrivals.
In a separate initiative, SIA is testing a dedicated security screening lane for premium passengers at Terminal 3. The airline aims to provide a more seamless and personalized ground experience for these passengers. This move is not unique to SIA, as other airlines like Emirates and Lufthansa also offer concierge services to their premium passengers, including private car services and personal assistants.
SIA will also launch new cabin products, including next-generation first- and business-class seats on its Airbus A350-900 fleet, in the first quarter of 2027, although the rollout has faced delays due to supply chain issues.
