Chart of the Day: Gulf carriers take a bigger bite of Singapore’s air passenger pie

It comes at SIA’s expense.

This graph from OCBC Investment Research and the Centre for Aviation (CAPA) shows that Singapore Airlines is losing out to foreign carriers in terms of passenger share for Singapore-Europe flights.

For the period of December 2013 to February 2014, SIA had a market share of 43.0% while key competitor Emirates had a market share of just 10.2%.

However, SIA's market share shrank to 37.5% in the period from December 2014 to February 2015.

Emirates' market share grew to 14.2% in the same period. Qatar Airways, another Middle Eastern carrier, almost doubled its market share from 3.8% to 7.3%.

"We think SIA will continue to face tough competition from the gulf carriers," OCBC said.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
