Singapore Airlines announced this morning that their first Boeing 787-10, which will be delivered next month and will feature 36 of the new flat-bed ‘regional’ business class seats, and 301 economy class seats, will operate selected flights to Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur in April 2018, as we predicted for crew training, before being used to serve regular flights to launch destination Osaka in May 2018.
As launch customer for the type, these will be the first commercial services in the world to operate with the Boeing 787-10.

The airline has not yet announced which of the two regular daily Osaka flights, nor which of the shorter Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur flights, will feature the 787-10. The timetables have also not yet been updated to reflect the new aircraft type on those routes at this stage.
As soon as we’re aware which flights you can book to experience this new aircraft with the latest regional business product, we’ll let you know.
