Competition commission clears SATS’ proposed Promontoria acquisition

The proposed transaction does not infringe section 54 of the Competition Act 2004.

The Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore has cleared the proposed acquisition of SATS International SAS of Promontoria Holding 243 B.V. which indirectly holds 100% shares in cargo handling services firm WFS Global Holdings S.A.S.

In a statement, CCCS said implementing the proposed acquisition would not result in “substantial lessening of competition” within any market in line with section 54 of the Competition Act 2004.

The potential competition between SATS and WFS is limited as they do not compete in providing any products and services in the country.

It added that competition concerns are unlikely to emerge from the vertical links between the parties and from the combination of their portfolios for the supply of ground and cargo handling services, premium lounge services, and premium bespoke passenger services.

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.
