SIA Chief flags possible job cuts

Blame it on the loss it incurred during the past quarter.

Bloomberg reported that Singapore Airlines Ltd. said jobs are likely to be cut as part of a business review. Southeast Asia’s biggest carrier has kicked off to revive earnings following a surprise quarterly loss.

The premium carrier’s staff is aware headcount reduction is possible under the process, Chief Executive Officer Goh Choon Phong told reporters Tuesday at the annual meeting of the International Air Transport Association in Cancun, Mexico. The group, including affiliates and units, employed an average 24,350 workers at the end of March 2016.

Some jobs may become “irrelevant,” while some workers may need new skills for different tasks, Goh said, adding it is too early to provide numbers. The review process that covers the carrier’s fleet and network started more than six months ago, and Singapore Air has hired external advisers for help, he said.

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.
