"In April 1976, SIA launched a trial on the Singapore-Sydney route with a Filipino trio called Los Amigos, who performed a 45-minute set covering 13 popular songs."
"According to MileLion, 86% of passengers enjoyed their performance, enough for the airline to move from trial mode to regular live performances the following month."

In 1976, Singapore Airlines trialed live musical performances on flights, starting with a Filipino trio on the Singapore-Sydney route. The initiative aimed to enhance passenger experience during a time when inflight entertainment was evolving. While 86% of passengers enjoyed the performances, the reality faced challenges. Performers struggled with loud engines and dry air, affecting their ability to sing. Despite initial success, the live entertainment concept was discontinued within a year due to these practical difficulties.
