SATS gets a boost as Changi Airport slashes fees

It will get a 20% rebate.

Changi Airport’s decision to reduce charges for passengers, airlines and aviation services providers will give in-flight caterer SATS a boost.

According to Maybank Kim Eng, SATS will receive a 20% rebate on in-flight catering and ground handling fees from May 2015 to Mar 2017.

The group will also receive grants to support their productivity drive over the next two years.

“SATS incurs licencing fees of around SGD77m a year (around 4% of sales). Assuming a 20% reduction in total licencing fees, we expect EBIT uplift of 8%, ceteris paribus,” stated Maybank Kim Eng.

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.
