The growth in revenue during the first half was mainly attributed to higher airframe and line maintenance revenue, but was offset by lower engine and component revenue.

Expenditure in H1 fell 2.5% to $475.4m, mainly attributed to lower subcontract and material costs.

According to Maybank Kim Eng, SIAEC’s profits after tax and minority interests (PATMI) is expected to hit $168m for the full financial year 2019-2020, from $160.9m from the previous year.

In a separate report, DBS Equity Research cited that the further expansion in its core operating margin, increased workload at its engine shops, recovery in associate or joint venture profits and a boost in maintenance work volumes could prove as earnings drivers for the group.

SIA Engineering expressed plans to further strengthen its joint ventures and alliances.

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.
