SIA enters long-dated Brent hedges until 2022

It has hedged between 33-39% of their fuel requirements.

Singapore Airlines changed its fuel hedging policy of hedging up to 24 months. It recently announced that they have entered into longer-dated Brent hedges until 2022.

According to UOB, the airline hedged between 33-39% of their fuel requirements at between US$53-59/bbl.

"The levels are attractive and do not represent any significant premium over spot prices but amount to substantial forward commitments," the brokerage firm noted.

It furthered, "This could potentially lead to SIA becoming cautious towards dividend payout. We have assumed a 50% payout for FY17."

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.
