Singapore Airlines has launched its first flights offering iPod and iPhone connectivity via its KrisWorld entertainment system.

The facility is available on the carrier's new all-business class flights between Singapore and Newark, New Jersey and will be launched on services to Los Angeles in August.

Singapore Airlines' in-flight entertainment setup also boasts a 15.4-inch LCD screen for watching films and television, as well as noise-cancelling headphones.

Yap Kim Wah, the operator's senior vice-president of products and services, said: 'Customers on our all-business class Airbus A340-500 flights now have an incredible way to enjoy their own iPod and iPhone music and video on the KrisWorld in-flight entertainment system.

'This is yet another example of our philosophy of creating customer satisfaction by providing an enhanced sense of choice and control.'

The new all-business flights launched from Singapore for Newark on the morning of 15 May, fitted with 100 of the airline's business class seats.

Singapore Airlines is the first carrier to operate an exclusively business class service on a transpacific route.
