SIA set to benefit as AirAsia's woes intensify

Passengers might soon ditch budget carriers.

The Singapore Airlines Group is an unintended beneficiary of budget carrier AirAsia’s mounting woes. UOB Kay Hian noted that SIA could gain market share at the expense of the beleaguered low-cost airline.

The report stated that passengers might make a switch to full-service carriers (FSCs) as AirAsia’s woes mount. The group, which is composed of SIA, Scoot, Silk Air and Tigerair--has the highest absolute seating capacity among ASEAN full-service carriers.

As 37% of the SIA group’s seating capacity is slated towards the ASEAN, the group could soon see see increased loads on short-haul ASEAN routes and thus increased profitability.

UOB Kay Hian also added that SIA’s ability to hedge fuel will also enable it to lock in costs and improve margins.

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.
