SIA scraps potential equity investment in low-cost carrier Jeju Air

Talks with the Korean carrier have ceased.

Singapore Airlines said yesterday that it will not proceed with a potential equity investment in Jeju Air, one of South Korea’s largest low-cost carriers.

SIA did not provide a reason for its decision to scrap the deal, which was first revealed in March this year.

According to OCBC, cutthroat competition from gulf carriers will continue to weigh on SIA in coming quarters.

“Its previously successful focus on just long-haul Americas and Europe routes is no longer the recipe for future growth. Strategic investments may help, but these processes take time,” OCBC said.

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.
