Singapore Airlines has launched a new wellness menu for travelers seeking healthier options when they fly.
The new menu will debut on selected SIA flights starting September 2019. The initiative is part of a collaboration with COMO Shambhala, a 5-star wellness retreat in Bali, Indonesia.
“We are excited to unveil the fruits of our partnership with COMO Shambhala, tapping on their award-winning expertise in holistic wellness and nutritious cuisine for our in-flight meals,” said Singapore Airlines Senior Vice President of Customer Experience, Mr. Yeoh Phee Teik.
Economy passengers will be able to pre-order from the alternative wellness menu on all routes departing from Singapore. First and business class passengers can experience the wellness menu on select flights departing from Singapore to Hong Kong, Frankfurt, London, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney.
More than just a wellness menu
In addition to the new wellness menu, Singapore Airlines’ partnership with COMO Shambhala includes wellness articles designed to help travelers learn and practice wellbeing wherever they are. These helpful articles will be launched concurrently with the wellness menu in September 2019.

The future of healthy airport and airline food
On the whole, airport food is getting better much faster than inflight food. Inflight food still suffers from a lack of healthy options on most flights. That’s why we’re so excited to see Singapore Airlines launching a new wellness menu inflight. It shows a serious level of dedication to creating a healthier inflight experience for travelers.
We can’t wait to see more healthy inflight food menus!
Whether you travel once a year or several times a week, the inflight experience can be hard on our minds and bodies. Follow our latest inflight wellness news and updates here so you can be at your best when you travel.
