Singapore Airlines is launching ‘Inflight Skills’ to keep the whole family entertained during a long-haul flight.

Customers will be able to learn the ancient Asian art of paper folding and decoration, with specially designed and sustainably produced origami how-to kits.

Featuring the Singapore Airlines batik print, the kit contains a step-by-step guide to five creations, from a simple paper plane to a more challenging batik print box.

The initiative is part of the airline’s ongoing commitment to enhancing its world-class offering for families.

Passengers will be able to collect their kits ahead of boarding, either at the departure gate at London Heathrow or at check-in at Manchester Airport.

Singapore Airlines general manager for the UK & Ireland, Sheldon Hee, said: “We are very excited to launch the Singapore Airlines Inflight Skills initiative.

“It is the perfect opportunity for families to engage in a new activity during their flight with us.

“Our aim is to make every journey personal for our passengers, be it fun or educational, and we hope our passengers will enjoy learning a new skill and have fun at the same time.”
