Singapore Airlines' segments disappointed with weak results

Despite a hefty $75m revenue.

According to DBS, at the operating level, SIA booked an additional S$75m in revenue for settlement pertaining to changes in aircraft delivery slots, which helped lift SIA’s passenger business’ operating earnings to rise slightly to S$89m (vs S$85m a year ago).

DBS said that meanwhile, all other segments posted weak results y-o-y (SilkAir S$14m vs S$18m; SIA Cargo S$40m loss vs S$49m loss; SIE S$28m vs S$34m a year ago).

"A gain of S$336m was booked on the sale of its 49% Virgin Atlantic stake, but this was offset by impairment charges on four surplus cargo planes marked for sale (S$293m) and impairment of Singapore Flying College (S$24m)," DBS said.

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.
