Price hike alert: SIA to increase fuel surcharges

Continued high fuel prices are propelling Singapore Airlines’ fuel surcharge for tickets issued on or after 8 March 2012.

In a statement the airline said that jet fuel prices have been increasing and fuel now accounts for 40% of SIA Group expenditure.

The new fuel surcharge levels will apply to Singapore Airlines and SilkAir flights and represent an increase of between US$2 and US$28 per sector, depending on the distance and class of travel.

Singapore Airlines said it will continue to closely monitor the price of fuel and keep surcharges under constant review.

“The adjustments will offer only partial relief from the higher operating costs arising from increases in the price of jet fuel,” said SIA.

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.
