Singapore Airlines Engineering's operating costs edged up a tad 1.5%

No thanks to 5.5% staff cost hike.

According to CIMB, 1H14 revenue was stable at S$583m. Hangars have been booked out for the next six months, mainly for more-intensive C checks, especially ofA380 aircraft.

In 1H14, SIE‟s line-maintenance unit handled 65.5k flights (+17% yoy), thanks to the aggressive growth of LCC volume at Changi Airport.

Here's more from CIMB:

Operating costs were up 1.5% yoy, mainly due to a 5.5% yoy increase in staff costs on higher foreign-worker levies and annual increments, which is not alarming.

Only 10% of SIE‟s workforce of 5,500 comprises foreigners. Management expects a “stable” performance ahead as the group leverages its diversified MRO services and presence in key markets.

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.
