Pressure on SIA passenger yields to intensify

Double trouble with weak cargo profits.

According to DBS, Singapore Airlines (SIA) contines to face a tough operating environment.

"While lower fuel prices should provide some relief for SIA, passenger yields are expected to continue to be under pressure, with its cargo operations also struggling for profitability," the research firm said after the release of SIA's 1QFY14 results.

"The risk to our earnings projection is on the downside if the
decline in yield becomes even more pronounced. SIA’s balance sheet remains strong with a net cash position of over S$4.5bn or more than S$3.80 per share," reckoned DBS.

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.
