Pressure on SIA passenger yields to intensify

Double trouble with weak cargo profits.

According to DBS, Singapore Airlines (SIA) contines to face a tough operating environment.

"While lower fuel prices should provide some relief for SIA, passenger yields are expected to continue to be under pressure, with its cargo operations also struggling for profitability," the research firm said after the release of SIA's 1QFY14 results.

"The risk to our earnings projection is on the downside if the
decline in yield becomes even more pronounced. SIA’s balance sheet remains strong with a net cash position of over S$4.5bn or more than S$3.80 per share," reckoned DBS.

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.
