Demand Decreases in Corona Singapore Airlines In-flight Meal Restaurant on Airliner October 25, 10:28

Singapore Airlines has begun operating a restaurant that serves in-flight meals on one of the world's largest passenger planes, as demand for aviation has plummeted due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection.

Singapore Airlines operates only international flights, and due to the suspension of most flights, the deficit exceeded 80 billion yen in the three months until June, accounting for about 15% of the entire group. The business situation continues to be difficult, such as deciding to reduce the number of employees by 4,300.



In response to this, in order to secure sales outside the aviation business, we started operating a restaurant that serves in-flight meals using Airbus' A380, one of the world's largest passenger planes, for a limited time from the 24th.



On the 24th of the first day, many people visited the large aircraft parked at the airport, and the flight attendants were able to serve Malay dishes with plenty of spices using shrimp and fish, and Japanese dishes such as Suzuki's Saikyo-yaki. I was serving.



The price varies depending on the type of seat, but it is about 4,000 to 50,000 yen in Japanese yen.



In addition, in the waiting lobby, uniforms of successive flight attendants were shown, and a booth where you could take a commemorative photo with the flight attendants was set up, and it was crowded with families.



A man in his twenties who visited the restaurant said, "I enjoyed the meal while imagining an airplane flying."
