SIA, Cathay lock horns with Chinese carriers

The duo is suffering two common problems.

According to a report from Reuters, Asia’s aviation hub model is showing signs of wear and tear as Singapore Airlines and Hong Kong rival Cathay Pacific face intense competition with Chinese carriers.

The report said the two airlines are facing two common problems. First, the rapid growth of direct flights from China to a raft of international destinations has done away with the need to stop in either city en route to a third destination. That is especially painful because China's outbound tourist market, by number of visitors, is already the biggest in the world. And second, a rising Asian middle class wants to fly cheap.

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.
