Singapore Airlines Journeys

A digital museum for the plane that redefined commercial aviation


Back in 2012, Singapore Airlines was retiring its legendary B747 fleet: the plane that elevated air travel for four decades.

We sent it off with SIA’s largest digital campaign ever: Singapore Airlines Journeys.

I led copywriting and content development, scouring archives and writing dozens of stories in a brand voice that hearkened back to Singapore Airlines’ iconic campaigns of yesteryear.

The project exceeded all expectations, transforming TBWA Singapore’s relationship with a marquee client. It was extended into a yearlong campaign, and paved the way for the following year’s new brand campaign.

Collaborators: Sharim Gubbels, Camille Del Rosario Tuli, Muhammad Hilwan



Singapore Airlines introduced "slumberette" cabins in 1976, and inflight gourmet meals in 1979.
