Here's how SIA can benefit from declining capacity growth in APAC carriers

Pax yield can rise by 2.7% in the second half of 2018.

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) projects that Asia Pacific carriers' capacity growth will dip 6.8% in 2018. According to analysts from UOB Kay Hian, this can be conducive to pax yield growth amongst carriers like Singapore Airlines (SIA). Pax yield for SIA is projected to rise by 2.7% in the second half of 2018 and by 1.6% in 2019

Amongst other carriers, there are already signs of stronger pax yield growth with several North Asian carriers registering over 5%  growth in 4Q17.

According to UOB Kay Hian analyst K Ajith, "We believe that markets have yet to price this positive inflexion point. We expect SIA’s yields to similarly improve in 3QFY18 and expect a favourable yield environment for 2018."

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
