SIA and SilkAir to merge financial operations

SIA will begin to handle SilkAir’s revenue and overseas accounting functions.

Singapore Airlines merged its financial operations with its regional arm SilkAir. SilkAir's Revenue Accounting and Overseas Accounting functions will be handled by SIA, whilst its Financial Reporting, Payments and Credit Control functions will remain under its under its control, SIA told Singapore Business Review.

The airlines also said the merger of financial functions is part of its transformation programme to “identify synergies” across the SIA Group.

However, the move is not a parallel to the recent merger of Scoot and Tigerair last July, in which both companies were integrated under the Scoot name.

“As we have said in recent months, the transformation programme is ongoing and will leave no stones unturned in identifying opportunities to strengthen the SIA Group. At present we continue to see benefits in retaining separate operations and separate branding for SIA and SilkAir,” a SIA spokesperson 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.
