SIA continues recovery with net loss of $274m for Q1 2021

The value is an improvement over last year’s $763m.

 

Singapore Airlines (SIA) announced today a net loss of $274m for the first quarter of 2021. 

 

This is an improvement over last year’s net loss of $763m by 63.6%. SIA attributes this to better operating performance and the lack of non-cash impairment charges from the liquidation of NokScoot.   

 

SIA also reported a 52.2% increase in revenue at $1.3b for the time period, compared to $851m from last year. A factor that the group points is the uptick in passenger and cargo revenue, as cargo flown in generated 32.4%. 

 

Passenger load also recorded a 14.8%, whilst passenger traffic grew by 28% of pre-COVID-19 levels.

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.
