Here's how SIA can benefit from declining capacity growth in APAC carriers

Pax yield can rise by 2.7% in the second half of 2018.

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) projects that Asia Pacific carriers' capacity growth will dip 6.8% in 2018. According to analysts from UOB Kay Hian, this can be conducive to pax yield growth amongst carriers like Singapore Airlines (SIA). Pax yield for SIA is projected to rise by 2.7% in the second half of 2018 and by 1.6% in 2019

Amongst other carriers, there are already signs of stronger pax yield growth with several North Asian carriers registering over 5%  growth in 4Q17.

According to UOB Kay Hian analyst K Ajith, "We believe that markets have yet to price this positive inflexion point. We expect SIA’s yields to similarly improve in 3QFY18 and expect a favourable yield environment for 2018."

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
