HKA bought a 15% stake, decreasing SIAEC's interest from 47.06% to 40%.

Hong Kong Airlines (HKA) subscribed for new shares worth $3.7m in Pan Asia Pacific Aviation Services Limited (PAPAS), a joint venture between SIA Engineering Company Limited (SIAEC) and three other Asian airline firms.

According to a press release, PAPAS is a Hong Kong-based joint venture between SIAEC which holds 47.06%, Malaysia Airlines Berhad (MAB) which holds 23.53%, PT Garuda Indonesia (Persero) TBK (GA) which holds 17.65%, and Royal Brunei Airlines Sdn Bhd (RBA) which holds 11.76%.

The company provides a full suite of line maintenance, ramp handling and other ancillary services at Hong Kong International Airport.

SIAEC said, "HKA is a major customer of PAPAS and its entry as a shareholder will further strengthen PAPAS’ growth."

HKA will become a 15% shareholder of PAPAS through a subscription of new shares, whilst SIAEC's stake will be cut to 40%.

HKA has the right to further increase its stake in PAPAS to 30% for $4m.

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.
