Singapore Airlines faces potential S$7.6mln/day loss

Canceling European flights due to volcanic activity and ash cloud could mean loss of sales worth S$7.6 million a day for SIA, or a likely net loss of S$3.7 million on a daily basis.

Although Singapore Airlines has not made an estimate of the impact from the shutdown, UOB-Kay Hian Research's Singapore-based analyst K. Ajith said the carrier is facing the abovementioned figures in terms of losses.

Bloomberg reported, "As many as 63,000 flights have been canceled industrywide after the April 14 volcanic eruption spewed dust across European airspace, causing airports from Dublin to Moscow to shutter."

Meanwhile SIA spokesperson Nicholas Ionides said, "The priority right now is managing the situation and attending to the affected customers."

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.
