Consideration to fly with Singapore Airlines plunges after SQ321 incident

Despite the drop, SIA remains the most considered airline amongst Singaporeans.

The SQ321 turbulence incident has led to a decline in the percentage of Singaporeans considering flying with Singapore Airlines.

Data from YouGov showed that the airline's consideration score fell 15 points to 53.3 by 29 May from 68.0 on 21 May, when the incident happened.

"Consideration Score measures the percentage of consumers who would consider flying with the airline on their next trip," YouGov explained.

The airline's consideration score, however, rebounded in the weeks after the incident, hitting 55.9 by the end of May.

"Despite the significant fall in consumers who would consider booking their next flight with SIA, the flag carrier remains by far the most considered airline among consumers in Singapore," YouGov added.

The airline remains the top choice of Singaporeans (56%), followed by Scoot (28%), the low-cost airline of the SIA Group.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
