SIA's war with Chinese carriers heats up

The group's rivals are expanding their capacity aggressively.

There are no clear skies ahead for Singapore Airlines as its rivalry with Chinese carriers is expected to intensify.

According to OCBC Investment Research analyst Eugene Chua, the Chinese carriers are expanding capacity aggressively on the North-Asia and Transpacific routes and from the Gulf carriers’ persistent pressures on the Southwest Pacific routes.

However, the analyst noted that SIA will be able to gain some edge as its passenger yield decline slows down over the next two years.

The improvement in passenger yields will be on the back of seemingly improving global economic outlook that drives demand in passenger traffic, and the support from the premium economy.

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.
