SIA’s Q3 profits spike 35.7% to $275.6m

Thanks to aircraft disposal and raised operating profit.

Singapore Airlines’ (SIA) reported profits for 3QFY16 soared 35.7% YoY to $275.6m, thanks to increased operating profit and a gain of $53.3m from aircraft disposal.

According to OCBC, these were offset, though, by raised tax expense incurred, aircraft impairment, and flagging performance of associates.

During the quarter, SIA’s revenue dipped 3.9% or $158m to $3.94b on back of a 4.6% pullback in passenger yield and a 13.5% drop in cargo yield.

Total expenditure slipped 7.6% to $3.65b thanks to tapered net fuel costs as average jet fuel price fell by a material 41.1%. However, the strengthening of USD against as as well as hedging losses partially offset the fuel savings.

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.
