SATS gets a boost as Changi Airport slashes fees

It will get a 20% rebate.

Changi Airport’s decision to reduce charges for passengers, airlines and aviation services providers will give in-flight caterer SATS a boost.

According to Maybank Kim Eng, SATS will receive a 20% rebate on in-flight catering and ground handling fees from May 2015 to Mar 2017.

The group will also receive grants to support their productivity drive over the next two years.

“SATS incurs licencing fees of around SGD77m a year (around 4% of sales). Assuming a 20% reduction in total licencing fees, we expect EBIT uplift of 8%, ceteris paribus,” stated Maybank Kim Eng.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
