SIA profits up 192% to $189.9m in Q2

SIA and SIA Cargo registered stronger operating profits.

Singapore Airlines' (SIA) profits rose 192% YoY to $189.9m in Q2, thanks to stronger operating results.

According to its financial statement, operating profit rose by 112.8% to $232m, after a $195m increase in revenue.

SIA Group's main companies recorded mixed results.

Operating profit for SIA rose by 52.94% to $170m and improved operating revenue, thanks to higher passenger flown revenue.

SIA Cargo reversed its loss of $11m last year to an operating profit of $26m. Revenue grew as freight carriage grew, further lifted by an improvement in cargo yield.

Scoot and SilkAir recorded weaker earnings as they continued to invest for expansion.

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.
