SINGAPORE -- National carrier Singapore Airlines (SIA) announced on Tuesday a range of new offerings for aviation fans as it seeks alternative sources of income while the COVID-19 pandemic continues to keep a lid on international travel.

The company that had received the award for "World's Best International Airline" over a number of years said it would introduce a restaurant service in October for those who want to dine onboard a grounded Airbus A380 jet, the largest passenger plane, among other initiatives. The carrier had also considered the idea of operating "flights to nowhere," but ditched the concept after a review.
