SIA continues recovery with net loss of $274m for Q1 2021

The value is an improvement over last year’s $763m.

 

Singapore Airlines (SIA) announced today a net loss of $274m for the first quarter of 2021. 

 

This is an improvement over last year’s net loss of $763m by 63.6%. SIA attributes this to better operating performance and the lack of non-cash impairment charges from the liquidation of NokScoot.   

 

SIA also reported a 52.2% increase in revenue at $1.3b for the time period, compared to $851m from last year. A factor that the group points is the uptick in passenger and cargo revenue, as cargo flown in generated 32.4%. 

 

Passenger load also recorded a 14.8%, whilst passenger traffic grew by 28% of pre-COVID-19 levels.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

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.
