This new feature offers an impressive host of publications for you to enjoy on your flight, as well as enhanced features such as text-to-speech, translation tools and section indexing for a seamless reading experience
A newly revamped e-Library is now available to all Singapore Airlines (SIA) customers through the SingaporeAir mobile app. Designed to elevate the reading experience, this digital upgrade provided by PressReader lets passengers easily browse or download as many titles as they want from over 1,400 periodicals from Singapore and overseas.
To download publications onto the SingaporeAir mobile app, customers must initially connect to the internet. Once the files are saved to your device, they can be accessed at the “Downloaded” section within the e-Library. Learn more on how to use the e-Library in the video below:
Passengers can download their preferred publications starting from 48 hours before and up to 30 days after their flight (two days for the general public; seven days for KrisFlyer members; and 30 days for PPS members). This extended access ensures that the e-Library is more than just an in-flight feature – it’s a companion for the entire journey.
Robust content
SIA’s new e-Library hosts an impressive and well-curated selection, including international publications like The Economist and The New York Times, and a suite of periodicals from SPH Media, including The Straits Times. The titles available appeal to a wide range of interests, covering 31 categories that include leisure and lifestyle, business and finance, food and drink, news and politics, as well as computer and technology; they also come in various languages.
Even with such a rich repository, SIA plans to gradually add more publications to the e-Library in the future – a testament to the airline’s commitment to provide premium content to its customers and stay ahead of evolving passenger expectations.
Elevated digital experience
Beyond content, SIA’s e-Library raises the bar with usability enhancements. New features such as text-to-speech, translation tools and section indexing make navigation seamless, catering to a global audience with diverse needs.
Other nifty features include an ability to read an article in text view, which presents the content in a simplified text-only format, stripping away the design elements and complex layouts; and Smart Zoom, which automatically moves the zoomed-in view to the beginning of the article. Whether reading for leisure or staying informed on the go, passengers will find the upgraded interface intuitive and engaging.
With these updates, Singapore Airlines reinforces its commitment to anticipate and provide for the needs of its customers. By seamlessly integrating traveller insights with a commitment to premium experiences, the airline proves that even digital touchpoints can and should be as meticulously curated as the journey itself.
