Regular Singapore Airlines passengers will notice something a little different on board from the end of October 2025, with the carrier today unveiling a brand new take on its in-flight safety video, which sticks to the tried and tested familiar format of the last few years, showcasing Singapore and its landmarks to passengers from across the world.
This is the first time the safety video has been updated since the current one aired on board from late 2017, over seven years ago.
It means we will soon bid farewell to the familiar face of flight stewardess Elizabeth Quek on our flights, in favour of two new crew members taking the helm.
Singapore Airlines today unveiled its new in-flight safety video, which creatively presents essential safety features while taking customers on a journey around Singapore’s diverse and vibrant landmarks, neighbourhoods, and communities.

New SIA safety video for 2025
When the current Singapore Airlines safety video was released in 2017, it was a departure from the more traditional concept of presenting information filmed from inside the aircraft cabin.
Instead the iconic ‘Singapore Girl’ took viewers outside, “on a journey through Singapore”, to promote the city’s many landmarks in association with the Singapore Tourism Board (STB).
The new video sticks closely to the 2017 script, also taking viewers around many familiar landmarks, but in a slightly more gender-inclusive stance for 2025, as it now includes both a female and a male crew member.
Here’s the latest 5 minute 40 second version of the Singapore Airlines safety video, which is around 10 seconds shorter than the current version.

The two presenters starring in the video are of course real-world SIA cabin crew – no actors needed here with such a large pool of talent to choose from.
Strangely, Singapore Airlines started teasing the new safety video over two years ago – on 31st July 2023 via its social media channels – stating “coming 1 August”, but the actual release never happened and has apparently been postponed until now.
The video showcases several major landmarks and locations across Singapore as it presents the safety information, including:
- Gardens by the Bay
- Esplanade (Marina Bay)
- Jurong Lake Gardens
- Tanjong Beach, Sentosa
- The Village Hotel, Sentosa
- Lau Pa Sat
Scenes include a traditional lion dance, a family enjoying durian (or not, as the case may be!), silat martial arts on the beach and friends simply tucking into satay for dinner.
The video also cuts from real-life footage across to some watercolour scenes, especially to highlight some actual aircraft safety features.

Once again the safety video is produced in collaboration with Singapore Tourism Board.
The new video will be loaded progressively on flights and shown from late October 2025.

If you’re still a fan of SIA’s current safety video, don’t worry it still lives on here for you to enjoy watching!

Indeed this current version will still be screened on board until late October, so perhaps you haven’t seen the last of it just yet.
Summary
Singapore Airlines is launching a new in-flight safety video from October 2025, and the carrier is sticking to its “journey through Singapore” theme, with information presented at major landmarks throughout the city, including a nod to local culture and cuisine along the way.
In a shift from the current version, and for the first time we can recall, the video is also presented by a male cabin crew member, not just the airline’s iconic “Singapore Girl”, who of course still features.
What do you think of the new Singapore Airlines safety video, and do you prefer it to the current one from 2017? Let us know in the comments section below.

What’s the male equivalent of the Singapore Girl?
“Singapore Boi”, with boy spelt with an “i”, a nod to a region in Wales, where “boi” is also a term of endearment akin to “mate”. In effect, harking back to Singapore’s colonial days.
Current one much better. This one just doesn’t give the same vibe and feeling. Why change it?
I think they want it to be more “modern”. The current one looks dated while the new one seems more cheerful and modern. However I do prefer the current one’s music
I agree the dramatic but calming music of the current one is beautiful and always raises hairs on the back of my neck a little when it starts playing. Very moving – I’ll miss it 😢
I’d be honest, I kinda prefer the old one, particularly with the custom A380 painting for exit positions & how unique it was that they used the A330 to represent pretty much every other aircraft types… Also, the music sounds much more calming there
Still, I wonder how they’ll represent the A380 for the new vid
Elizabeth Quek left SIA years back so they badly needed to update this with current crew!
I doubt this factors into SIA’s thinking – you can’t expect the airline to re-shoot an entire safety video just because one of the crew featured in it has left the company!
Old one better for sure !
I’m surprised they were allowed to ‘suggest’ that passenger oxygen masks offer protection from a smell, when in reality they do no such thing.
These masks only supply supplemental oxygen during a cabin depressurisation at altitude. They provide no filtration against odours or toxic fumes, durians included!
Why don’t you sue them then? Bo liao.
I totally agree with you. The function of the oxygen mask in the airplane is described differently in the new in-flight safety video of Singapore Airlines (the video which exposing the durian smell), it will mislead the audiences. Well, frankly speaking, I prefer the current video than the upcoming new one.
This is so much worse than the last one. Can we start petition? Keep keep keep!!
I prefer the Cathay Pacific safety video – more vibrant and energetic than SIA”s boring new video. Yawn…..
In the time the 2017 Safety video was released I only flown SQ twice (2022 & May 2025).
The music kind of makes you cry. The one I’d take was the one that was there even before 2017; far more upbeat
