Flying in economy class doesn't have to be a miserable experience.
To make flying more enjoyable for its passengers, Singapore Airlines
Ltd. is adding bigger screens, more in-flight movies and a PC, running
Red Hat Inc.'s distribution of the Linux operating system, in every seat
on its newest planes.
Unlike many U.S. airlines, the carrier doesn't view in-flight service as
a cost center where cutbacks can be made to reduce losses or boost
profits. Instead, Singapore Airlines' latest investments in cabin
service are designed to help it stand out from the competition and
attract more passengers.
