SIA cuts down net loss to $409m in Q1

The airline saw a net loss of $1.12b in the same period last year.

Singapore Airlines (SIA) has cut down on its net losses to $409m in the first quarter (Q1) from $1.12b a year earlier.

SIA’s massive drop in net loss comes at the back of a 52.2% improvement in total revenue to $1.29b from $851m a year earlier.

The group’s revenue also saw a steady increase from a low base in the second quarter of 2020. In Q1, SIA got $6.2b from issuance of MCBs, and $800m from aircraft sale-and-leaseback transactions.

The airline’s cargo business continued to be the outperformer on its business segment as cargo flown revenue grew by $214M year-on-year as the reinstatement of pax flights contributed to an increase in cargo capacity by 46.9% and loads carried by 68.2%.

SIA Net Loss Q1 2021

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.
