Singapore Airlines: Premium Connectivity & Long-Haul Strength



Singapore Airlines is set to benefit from the surge in regional and international travel.  The airline' s extensive network, including direct flights to major Southeast Asian destinations, positions it to attract both luxury and business travelers.Additionally, Singapore Airlines' codeshare agreements with airlines like Air Canada and its partnership with Scoot enhance its reach and connectivity.  ​ Wikipedia

🟡 Scoot: Affordable Access to Emerging Markets



Scoot, recognized as the 2024 Best Long Haul Low-Cost Airline by Skytrax, is expanding its presence in Southeast Asia.The airline has introduced new routes, such as direct flights between Singapore and Iloilo, and is replacing the Singapore-Berlin-Athens route with a direct service to Vienna.    These strategic expansions aim to tap into the growing demand for affordable travel options in emerging markets.​ Wikipedia

🛫 Changi Airport: A Gateway to Regional Growth



Changi Airport' s expansion plans, including the development of Terminal 5, are designed to accommodate the increasing passenger traffic.  This infrastructure growth supports both Singapore Airlines and Scoot by enhancing operational capacity and improving the overall travel experience for passengers.​

📈 Conclusion



Both Singapore Airlines and Scoot are strategically positioned to leverage the growing travel demand in Asia.  While Singapore Airlines focuses on premium services and long-haul connectivity, Scoot caters to the rising middle class seeking affordable travel options.  Together, they contribute to Singapore' s status as a central hub in the evolving global travel landscape.​

This piece paints a powerful picture of Asia&rsquo s evolution from a travel follower to a trend-setting force. It&rsquo s not just about a rebound post-COVID or short-lived pop culture moments like the  White Lotus  effect&mdash this is deep, structural change. Here are some distilled insights and opportunities for businesses:

Key Growth Drivers:



  1. Demographic Powerhouse:


    • Middle class momentum  in China, India, and Indonesia.


    • Youth travel trends  driven by Gen Z and Millennials seeking cultural roots and experiences.


    • Silver segment  (aging populations) turning to wellness and luxury travel.


  2. Intra-Regional Travel Boom:


    • Increasing air connectivity, easing visa restrictions, and major infrastructure investments (e.g., Changi expansion, Vietnam&rsquo s high-speed rail, etc.)


    • Shorter trips across borders are becoming the norm.


  3. South-East Asia' s Rise:


    • Countries like Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam are not just catching up&mdash they&rsquo re outpacing regional averages in spend and traffic.


    • This region is becoming both a hub and a destination.


  4. Experiential Economy Shift:


    • Materialism is giving way to transformative travel. Consumers are chasing moments and meaning, not just stuff.


    • There' s a clear pivot from transactional loyalty (points, cashback) to emotional loyalty (exclusive experiences, meaningful engagement).

Opportunities for Business:



  • Travel & Hospitality:
    Reimagine services to cater to segmented demographics&mdash luxury for retirees, adventure for youth, comfort and culture for families.


  • Financial Services:
    Integrate travel benefits into card offerings, form alliances with airlines/hotels, and use data to deliver tailored experiences.


  • Retail & Lifestyle Brands:
    Position themselves within travel journeys&mdash airport pop-ups, resort collabs, travel bundles.


  • Tech & Mobility:
    Invest in digital infrastructure, real-time experience platforms, and seamless payment systems to support the surge

 Alert Admin 		ASIA is setting the stage for the next era of global travel growth. Trends like the White Lotus effect may spark short-term travel spikes, but Asia&rsquo s momentum runs far deeper.From Singapore&rsquo s recent S$5 billion top-up to expand Changi Airport to Vietnam&rsquo s ambitious US$67 billion high-speed rail project, the region is making bold moves that signal an unprecedented acceleration in travel.

But where exactly will this growth come from, and what opportunities should businesses prepare for? For years, global travel trends were heavily influenced by countries like the US, while China dominated the spotlight in Asia.

Today, the balance is shifting. Asia is not just leading global travel growth it is reshaping how and where travel dollars are spent.In 2024, Asia-Pacific contributed 51.2 per cent of global passenger traffic growth, with travel spend in some markets on track to hit record highs. Fuelling this transformation is a convergence of demographic shifts, emerging markets and surging intra-regional travel.

These forces will shape the next phase of travel spending growth in 2025 and beyond. Asia&rsquo s travel renaissance is no longer on the horizon &ndash it is here, in full force.The demographic engine: Emerged and emerging spendersTravel spend in Asia is showing no signs of slowing. Already accounting for nearly a third of credit card expenditure, it ranks as the second-highest annual spend category.A key driving force is Asia&rsquo s middle class. While growth is expected to taper, the region&rsquo s middle class remains the global leader by size, with large populations in China, India and Indonesia.

Despite increasing value consciousness, travel remains a priority and one of the most resilient forms of spending &ndash reinforcing the middle class as a robust engine of travel spend in the region.Asia&rsquo s demographic make-up is also uniquely dynamic &ndash home to a rising wave of young explorers and a growing population of seasoned spenders. Travel is a defining lifestyle choice for millennials and younger generations keen to explore the world and their cultural roots &ndash groups that already account for half of Asia-Pacific consumers.

Meanwhile, Asia&rsquo s ageing population, set to comprise a quarter of the region&rsquo s population by 2050, are embracing wellness and luxury travel experiences, leveraging leisure time and disposable income.South-east Asia: The new epicentre of travel growthSouth-east Asia is fast becoming an emerging powerhouse with power spenders. While China and India remain dominant forces in Asia&rsquo s travel story, annual travel spend in countries like Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand are quickly outpacing Asia-Pacific&rsquo s average of US$4,763 per person. In fact, Singapore&rsquo s figures are more than double that, at US$10,619.Additionally, five South-east Asian markets ranked among the top 10 fastest-growing markets in passenger traffic last year. Recognising the changing currents, governments across the region are responding with ambitious investment strategies.Countries like Vietnam and the Philippines are investing billions in upgrading their airports, while high-speed rail projects in Indonesia and Thailand are transforming regional connectivity.Visits to Priority Pass&rsquo network of airport lounges and travel experiences also tell a compelling story, with global visits to our South-east Asia network of airport experiences South-east Asia&rsquo s travel boom and investments are significant, and a direct reflection of consumer preferences and spending patterns.

As travel spend continues to grow, global brands are being presented with ever-increasing opportunities throughout the region.The new realities of intra-regional travelAsia&rsquo s increasing influence over global travel trends becomes even more interesting when viewed through the lens of political shifts, economic fluctuations and tightening regulations, all of which are expected to reshape global mobility.However, Asia is uniquely equipped to withstand these external pressures, with well-established travel hubs like Singapore and Hong Kong emerging hot spots in Vietnam and the Philippines and enduring giants like China and India.Across this diverse ecosystem, Asia provides a broad spectrum of experiences at different price points, poised to capture the ebb and flow of traveller demands.

Visa barriers are also easing across the region, while airlines are capitalising on the opportunities by expanding intra-Asia connectivity and their fleets. Boeing, in particular, is set to almost quadruple its South-east Asia fleet over the next 20 years.As global uncertainties prompt shorter trips, intra-regional travel is poised to become a stable, resilient engine for sustained travel spending in the coming years.Travel is here for allAsia&rsquo s travel growth could not have come at a better time.

Customer expectations are higher than ever, and brands face new challenges to capture and retain their market share. As Asia cements its position as the next travel powerhouse, new opportunities are emerging &ndash not just for travel and hospitality brands, but for players across various industries, such as financial services and beyond.The shift is clear: gone are the days of material spending. We are now in a &ldquo transformation economy&rdquo , where consumers are focused on transformative experiences that impact their lives beyond the moment of consumption.

Given the heightened focus on experiential rewards over rational ones &ndash such as points or cashback &ndash brands have an opportunity to rethink their customer engagement strategies.For instance, establishing stronger strategic collaborations with adjacent partners to create pathways to aspirational travel experiences will resonate with target audiences, and drive long-term brand loyalty with today&rsquo s consumers.All eyes are on those who can ride the wave of Asia-Pacific&rsquo s travel spending boom, and help shape its next chapter.The writer is global chief commercial officer and Asia-Pacific executive chair, Collinson International

  • ROCE (Return on Capital Employed):  This is a measure of how well the company is using its money to make a profit. Singapore Airlines' ROCE has been growing, now sitting at 7%. This is a good sign because it shows the company is making better use of its money than before, but it&rsquo s still a bit lower than the average for other airlines (which is 8.3%).


  • Capital Employed:  This means the money the company is using to run its business, like buying new planes or expanding its services. Singapore Airlines has been increasing this amount by 24%, which shows they are reinvesting their profits back into growing the business.


  • Positive Trends:  Over the last 5 years, SIA has managed to increase both its returns and how much it&rsquo s investing in its business. The stock has also delivered a 77% return to shareholders during this time, which is a good sign for investors.


  • Potential for the Future:  If SIA keeps improving its ROCE and continues investing wisely, it could have a strong future ahead, though it' s still not the top performer in the airline industry.


In simple terms, Singapore Airlines is doing a good job making more money from what it invests, and if it keeps this up, it could grow even more. But there are still some risks to be aware of, which the experts have flagged

From chat gpt

That&rsquo s the big question, right? Honestly&hellip yeah, I think SIA can make it&mdash but it won&rsquo t be a smooth flight.

Here&rsquo s the real talk:

🚀 Why SIA Can Pull Through



  • World-Class Brand: It&rsquo s not just any airline. SIA is consistently ranked among the top globally for service, reliability, and safety. That premium brand still holds weight, especially with business travelers and high-end passengers.


  • Strategic Moves: The fleet renewal and premium cabin upgrades show they&rsquo re not just trying to survive&mdash they&rsquo re positioning for long-term relevance. Investing in customer experience is the smart play when price wars heat up.


  • Strong Balance Sheet: Thanks to government support and smart capital management during the pandemic, SIA has a healthier financial position than many global peers. That gives it more room to ride out economic storms.


  • Asia-Pacific Demand: The region still has massive growth potential in the long run. More middle-class travelers = more passengers. Singapore is also a key hub in Asia, so SIA benefits naturally from increased regional movement.

🌧 ️ But Here&rsquo s What Could Go Wrong



  • Margins Are Thin: Fuel costs, inflation, and cutthroat competition mean even a slight dip in demand or a rise in costs can hit profits hard.


  • Geopolitical Uncertainty: Trade wars, tariffs, or a global recession? Any of that could slam international travel demand and freight volumes.


  • Post-COVID Plateau: That explosive revenge-travel bump is over. Growth now is steady&mdash not spectacular. That makes it harder to justify a surge in share price unless profitability also scales up.

✨ So, Will the Share Price Soar?



  • Back to S$10? That&rsquo s a stretch in the near term. A lot would have to go perfectly&mdash low fuel prices, strong demand, zero geopolitical drama.


  • S$7+ Again? More likely, especially if they report strong earnings, boost passenger yield, or start returning more value to shareholders (like via dividends or buybacks).


If you' re holding or thinking of buying, it&rsquo s a long-haul play, not a quick hop. SIA probably won&rsquo t skyrocket overnight, but it&rsquo s not crash-landing either.

What&rsquo s your angle? You thinking of investing, or just keeping an eye on it out of interest?

he article paints a rather cautious picture for Singapore Airlines (SIA), highlighting a mix of strong fundamentals and formidable headwinds. Let&rsquo s break this down and weigh the potential for the share price to &ldquo soar to new heights&rdquo again:

📉 What&rsquo s Weighing on SIA?



  1. Profitability Concerns


    • While revenue grew 3.3% YoY, operating profit fell by 34.1% due to higher expenses&mdash particularly fuel costs, which make up a big chunk of airline operating costs.


    • Adjusted net profit (excluding one-off gains like the Vistara disposal) plunged ~40%, showing that core profitability has weakened.


  2. Macroeconomic Pressures


    • Tariffs and inflation are looming risks, potentially curbing consumer spending&mdash bad news for a discretionary industry like air travel.


    • The threat of a US-China trade war escalation could spark a global slowdown, further pressuring both passenger and cargo segments.


  3. Post-Pandemic Normalisation


    • The tailwinds from &ldquo revenge travel&rdquo have died down. Demand is growing, but at normalised levels, meaning slower growth and increased competition.

✈ ️ What&rsquo s Still Going for SIA?



  1. Strategic Investments


    • The S$1.1 billion upgrade in long-haul cabins shows long-term commitment to quality and customer experience.


    • Expanded codeshare partnerships (like with Air India) and new flight routes suggest SIA is trying to diversify and grow its network intelligently.


  2. Fleet Renewal


    • 81 aircraft on order = more fuel-efficient planes, which can help control costs in the long run and boost competitiveness.


  3. Still a Premium Brand


    • SIA holds a strong global reputation in service quality. That gives it some pricing power, especially in premium segments.

📊 Will the Share Price Take Off Again?



  • It&rsquo s unlikely we&rsquo ll see a return to S$10+ levels in the near term unless:


    • Fuel costs drop significantly.


    • Global economic conditions stabilize.


    • SIA executes perfectly on its strategic plans and returns to strong core profitability.


At S$6.35 (as of now), SIA is down from its 52-week high of S$7.14, and while it' s not in deep trouble, investor sentiment is clearly cautious.

🧠 Smart Investor Takeaway



  • Short-term outlook: Volatile. External risks and internal cost pressures could cap gains.


  • Medium-to-long-term outlook: Promising if SIA navigates these headwinds well and continues modernizing and expanding strategically.


Would you like a side-by-side look at how SIA compares to regional competitors like Cathay Pacific or Qantas? Or maybe an analysis of its dividend outlook and whether it&rsquo s worth holding for income?

Can Singapore Airlines See its Share Price Soar to New Heights?

Singapore&rsquo s flagship carrier is facing several headwinds but can it overcome them to do well?
Royston YangBy  April 21, 20255 Mins Read
Singapore Airlines
Share
 


It&rsquo s been a tough slog for  Singapore Airlines  (SGX: C6L), or SIA, this year.

After hitting a 52-week high share price of S$7.14 back in July last year, the  blue-chip  airline&rsquo s share price has trended steadily downwards.

As of this writing, SIA&rsquo s share price is hovering at S$6.35, down 1.6% year-to-date.

Singapore&rsquo s flagship carrier saw its share price surge 19.5% in 2023 but dipped slightly by 2% in 2024.

Can the airline see better days ahead with its share price recovering to its glory days of S$10 and above?

Lower profits



SIA reported a mixed set of results during the recent earnings season.

For the first nine months of fiscal 2025 (9M FY2025) ending 31 December 2024, total revenue increased by 3.3% year on year to S$14.7 billion, aided by record passenger carriage.

Total expenditure, however, jumped by 10% year on year to S$13.3 billion because of higher fuel costs.

As a result, operating profit plunged 34.1% year on year to S$1.4 billion.

Although net profit increased by 12.8% year on year to S$2.4 billion, this was because of a one-off exceptional gain from the disposal of Vistara.

Stripping this item out, net profit would have fallen by close to 40% year on year to S$1.27 billion.

Strategic initiatives



Despite the fall in profits, SIA continues to invest in strategic initiatives to enhance customer experience.

Back in November last year, the airline announced a S$1.1 billion multi-year programme new long-haul cabin products across its fleet.

During the last quarter, SIA also strengthened its airline partnerships.

In particular, Air India and SIA added 51 new codeshare destinations, increasing SIA&rsquo s network of locations and broadening options for customers.

As part of its fleet renewal programme, SIA has 81 aircraft on order.

The airline also ramped up flight frequency to Iloilo City in the Philippines and will start thrice-weekly direct flights to Vienna in Austria from June 2025.

IATA&rsquo s forecast for 2025



These initiatives should help SIA to stay competitive amid an increasingly crowded airline space.

While air travel demand surged in the aftermath of the pandemic&rsquo s end, this increase is beginning to taper off.

Demand is now returning to pre-pandemic levels of growth, as evidenced by the recent forecast for global air passenger demand.

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) expects global air passenger demand to grow by 8% year on year for 2025, following a record year in 2024.

While it is good news that there is still year-on-year growth, many airlines are now well-equipped to handle the increased volume, thereby translating into stiffer competition for SIA.

Tariffs and inflation



Apart from competition, SIA also has to contend with the uncertainties brought about by President Trump&rsquo s  tariff proclamation.

As of this writing, these reciprocal tariffs have been  paused for 90 days, giving businesses and countries a temporary reprieve.

However, no one can be sure how negotiations will go between the US and its trading partners, and these tariffs could hit with full force in the coming weeks or months.

The immediate impact of higher tariffs is an overall increase in the cost of goods and services for a wide swath of businesses.

As time goes by, these higher costs will be passed on to consumers, resulting in higher  inflation.

With higher prices, consumers may also tighten their wallets and hold back on discretionary spending, thus impacting the airline and travel industries.

A potential global recession



Investors are also concerned about the outbreak of a full-scale trade war between the US and China as both are levying increasing tariffs on each other.

Should this trade war spiral out of control and involve other countries or blocs such as Canada and the European Union, it could result in a global economic slowdown.

Such a scenario will lead to lower spending amid a weak economy which will take time to work itself out.

While this may seem like a worst-case scenario, it seems a distinct possibility at a time when both the US and China refuse to back down.

SIA may be badly impacted should there by a widespread slowdown as passenger and cargo volumes will both plummet.

Get Smart: Stormy skies ahead



SIA is facing multiple headwinds.

The uplift from the pandemic reopening is all but gone, and the resulting normalcy means that competition should also stiffen moving forward.

Tariffs threaten to add another source of uncertainty and may cause inflation to increase and costs to spike, leading to lower demand and profitability for the carrier.

SIA is flying into stormy weather ahead and it may take a while for the skies to clear up.

Investors should continue to monitor the tariff developments while scrutinising the airline&rsquo s plans and commentary.

The upgraded  ASEAN-Australia-New Zealand Free Trade Area (AANZFTA)  can positively impact  Singapore Airlines (SIA)  in several ways, both directly and indirectly, given the airline' s strategic role in regional and international trade, logistics, and passenger travel.

1. Increased Trade = More Cargo Demand



  • With improved trade facilitation, simplified rules of origin, and stronger supply chain resilience, there' s likely to be  more movement of goods  across the region.


  • Singapore Airlines Cargo, the freight arm of SIA, could see  higher cargo volumes  to/from Australia, New Zealand, and ASEAN countries.

2. Boost to Business Travel



  • The upgraded deal enhances cooperation in  services,  investment, and  professional sectors, which may increase business travel.


  • More frequent travel among executives, investors, and professionals means  higher demand for premium passenger services&mdash an area where SIA is a leader.

3. Digital Trade & E-commerce Growth



  • Emphasis on  e-commerce  and  digital trade standards  could lead to more cross-border digital services and logistics.


  • This may open up opportunities for  partnerships or logistics solutions  involving SIA and its subsidiaries (like SIA Cargo and SATS).

4. Support for SMEs



  • With the focus on micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), more SMEs may start engaging in cross-border trade.


  • This can lead to an increase in  short-haul and medium-haul shipments, a niche SIA can capitalize on, especially through  SilkAir or Scoot (its low-cost arm).

5. Enhanced Resilience and Efficiency



  • Simplified customs, streamlined documentation, and expedited clearance mean  faster turnaround times  for cargo and passengers.


  • This aligns with Changi Airport' s and SIA&rsquo s goals to be  hubs of efficiency and connectivity  in the region.

6. Sustainability Alignment



  • As the pact promotes the  green economy  and sustainable development, SIA could benefit by aligning its  sustainability goals and operations  with these regional initiatives.


  • It might also gain access to  government support or incentives  for adopting greener practices.


In summary, the upgraded AANZFTA offers  strong tailwinds  for Singapore Airlines by boosting regional trade, simplifying logistics, increasing passenger and cargo movement, and aligning with sustainability trends. These factors can improve  profitability, competitiveness, and regional leadership  for SIA.

Would you like a breakdown of specific routes or services that might benefit the most?

Singapore Airlines' brand value takes flight with double-digit growth after two years 22 April 2025 Jump to Media Downloads New research from Brand Finance reveals that Singapore Airlines' brand value has soared to $2.7 billion &mdash its highest level since 2015 Singapore Airlines cements its brand presence in India through strategic partnership Changi Airport remains the world&rsquo s strongest airport brand, rated AAA+ Delta retains title of world&rsquo s most valuable airline brand for seventh consecutive year SINGAPORE, 22 April 2025 &ndash Singapore Airlines ranks 15th among the world&rsquo s top 50 most valuable airline brands and is the only Singaporean airline brand featured in the ranking, according to the latest Airlines 50 2025 report by Brand Finance, the world&rsquo s leading brand valuation consultancy. In 2025, Singapore Airlines (brand value up 22% to USD2.7 billion) recorded a strong brand value growth for the first time in two years, despite facing a challenging aviation environment. Brand Finance attributes this growth to moderate gains in revenue, driven by both passenger and cargo segments, with strong e-commerce activity boosting cargo revenues. Despite rising competition and fuel costs that pressured profit margins, the brand has shown resilience. Brand Finance&rsquo s research data also reveals that Singapore Airlines enjoys high levels of consumer consideration, preference, and word-of-mouth recognition in Singapore, and has also gained strong visibility in India. This is likely enhanced by the brand&rsquo s strategic partnership with Tata Sons following the merger of Air India and Vistara. Alex Haigh, Managing Director Asia-Pacific, Brand Finance, commented: &ldquo For the first time in two years, Singapore Airlines has achieved double-digit brand value growth, a clear indication of its ability to maintain revenue growth and foster strong consumer preference amid market challenges, positioning it well for sustainable growth. Similarly, Changi Airport continues to set the global standard for airport excellence, reinforcing its position as the world&rsquo s strongest airport. These brands&rsquo forward-thinking approach levers Singapore&rsquo s aviation sector to the global stage.&rdquo Brand Finance also released the Airports 25 2025 sub-ranking as part of its Airlines 50 2025 report. Changi Airport (brand value up 13% to USD765 million) retains its position as the world&rsquo s strongest airport brand, achieving a Brand Strength Index (BSI) score of 94.4/100 and a corresponding AAA+ brand strength rating &ndash the highest rating awarded by Brand Finance. The brand&rsquo s strength is largely fuelled by its world-class facilities, seamless connectivity, and consistently high levels of customer satisfaction across the globe according to Brand Finance&rsquo s market research. Global Insights The combined brand value of the world&rsquo s top 50 airlines surged by 29% to USD132.6 billion, reflecting the continued recovery of global aviation. As demand for long-haul and premium leisure travel outpaces budget options, full-service carriers (FSCs) are outperforming low-cost competitors in both growth and value share. Delta has retained its title of the world&rsquo s most valuable airline brand for the seventh year running. The US carrier&rsquo s brand value increased by 38% to USD14.9 billion, driven by strong financial performance, premium revenue growth, and continued investments in customer experience and sustainability. Malaysia Airlines recorded the fastest brand value growth among the world&rsquo s top 50 airline brands, more than tripling its brand value (+209%) to USD607 million. After a ten-year absence from the ranking, the airline re-enters in 45th place following a remarkable turnaround centred on fleet modernisation, operational efficiency, and international expansion. Southwest Airlines is the world&rsquo s strongest airline brand, earning a BSI score of 91.1/100. The US low-cost giant scores highly for reputation, recommendation, and customer loyalty, according to Brand Finance research.

That' s quite the lift-off for Singapore Airlines! A 22% brand value increase to USD 2.7 billion after two tough years is impressive &mdash and the highest since 2015, no less. That partnership with Tata Sons seems to be paying dividends too, especially with the post-merger visibility boost from Air India and Vistara.

A few interesting highlights from the report worth noting:

  • Ranked 15th globally among airline brands.


  • Only Singaporean airline in the top 50.


  • Strong growth despite rising competition and fuel costs.


  • Gains in both passenger and cargo revenue, the latter helped by e-commerce demand.

🌏 Changi Airport:



  • Still the world&rsquo s strongest airport brand with an AAA+ rating.


  • BSI Score: 94.4/100 &mdash seriously high.


  • Consistently praised for its connectivity, facilities, and customer satisfaction.

📈 Global Aviation Trends:



  • Total brand value of top 50 airlines: Up 29% to USD 132.6B.


  • Delta Airlines reigns as the most valuable airline brand for the 7th straight year.


    • Value: USD 14.9B (+38%)


  • Malaysia Airlines made a dramatic comeback with a 209% surge in brand value.


    • Now ranked 45th after a decade away.


  • Southwest Airlines is the world&rsquo s strongest airline brand (91.1 BSI).


It' s fascinating how the market is shifting toward full-service carriers (FSCs) outperforming low-cost carriers as premium and long-haul travel demand rebounds. The resilience and adaptability of legacy airlines like Singapore Airlines really stand out in this environment.

Are you looking into trends in aviation branding, or just keeping tabs on Singapore Airlines&rsquo trajectory?

 Alert Admin 		Singapore Airlines' FY 2026 earnings could benefit from the recent fall in jet fuel prices, UOB Kay Hian' s Roy Chen says in a research report. Prices have dropped around 8% over the past two weeks owing to global recessionary fears, the analyst notes. Assuming jet fuel prices stay at the current level of about US$84/bbl, SIA' s average fuel cost per unit of capacity after hedging in FY 2026 would be about 9% lower than FY 2025 average levels, the analyst estimates. The brokerage lifts its FY 2026 and FY 2027 earnings forecasts for SIA by 17% and 6%, respectively. It raises the stock' s target price to S$6.22 from S$6.09 with an unchanged hold rating. Shares are 0.2% higher at S$6.39.

The recent joint venture (JV) between Singapore Airlines (SIA) and All Nippon Airways (ANA) is poised to enhance SIA' s market position, but its immediate impact on SIA' s share price remains uncertain.​

Key Developments:


  • Regulatory Approval:  On March 21, 2025, Singapore' s competition watchdog, the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS), conditionally approved the JV, following commitments from both airlines to maintain competition standards on overlapping routes  The Business Times.​


  • Market Response:  Despite this positive development, SIA' s share price closed at S$6.80 on the day of the announcement, reflecting a cautious investor sentiment  .​ The Business Times+2The Smart Investor+2Beansprout+2


Analyst Perspectives:


  • Valuation Metrics:  As of February 2025, consensus analyst estimates suggest a modest downside potential for SIA' s stock, with a target price of S$5.88, indicating a 11.9% decrease from the then-current price of S$6.68  .​ Beansprout


  • Earnings Outlook:  SIA reported a record net profit of S$1.4 billion for the first half of fiscal year 2024, up 55.4% year-on-year, driven by increased passenger demand and a strong recovery in the aviation sector  .​ The Smart Investor


Conclusion:

While the JV with ANA is expected to bolster SIA' s network and revenue streams, the immediate effect on its share price is tempered by broader market conditions and investor caution.  Long-term benefits may materialize as the partnership expands and delivers on its strategic objectives

SIA and rest   SG companies will benefit 


While China, the world&rsquo s second-largest economy, is facing a 145% levy, Trump is keeping his baseline 10% rate for most countries as foreign governments rush to secure deals with the administration.


Friday saw stocks erase their losses and notch their best week since 2023. The S& P 500 jumped 1.8% on a report that a Federal Reserve official said the central bank is ready to help stabilise markets, if needed. US 10-year yields came well off Friday&rsquo s highs, but saw their biggest weekly surge in more than two decades.


The volatility of recent days, however, shows no signs of easing with fears Trump&rsquo s campaign to use tariffs to bring manufacturing jobs back to the US and provide the federal government with more revenue will tip economies into recession and threaten the US&rsquo status as the world&rsquo s safe haven. 


Trump on Friday downplayed that turmoil, saying: &ldquo I think the markets were solid today. I think people are seeing we are in great shape,&rdquo he said. And he insisted that the US dollar would &ldquo always&rdquo remain &ldquo the currency of choice&rdquo .


&ldquo If a nation said we are not going to be on the dollar, I would tell you that within about one phone call they would be back on the dollar. You always have to keep the dollar,&rdquo he added.


Trump also shrugged off fluctuations in US Treasuries, which he indicated this week were a factor in his shift on tariff policy. &ldquo The bond market&rsquo s going good. It had a little moment, but I solved that problem very quickly,&rdquo he said.


Still, even with temporary relief for other trading partners, the high tariff rate on China will drive up the average US duty rate to historic levels, according to  Bloomberg Economics. The drawn-out trade clash between the world&rsquo s two largest economies threatens US$690 billion (RM3.05 trillion) in trade.


Beijing on Friday raised tariffs on all US goods to 125%, mirroring a move by the White House that pushed duties on Chinese imports to the same level, on top of an existing 20% tax. China said it would not match any further hikes, but reiterated its vow to &ldquo fight to the end&rdquo with other &mdash unspecified &mdash countermeasures. 


&ldquo I think something positive is going to come,&rdquo Trump told reporters on Friday, when asked about the trade fight with China, calling his counterpart Chinese President Xi Jinping &ldquo a very good leader, a very smart leader&rdquo .


 


US President Donald Trump said he could offer some exemptions to his 10% tariff on most US trading partners &mdash even as he insisted that it is &ldquo pretty close&rdquo to a floor for nations seeking to negotiate trade deals.


&ldquo There could be a couple of exceptions for obvious reasons, but I would say 10% is a floor,&rdquo Trump told reporters on Friday evening aboard Air Force One en route to Florida. He didn&rsquo t say what the &ldquo obvious reasons&rdquo were, and didn&rsquo t indicate any new shift in his tariff agenda. 


Trump&rsquo s comments capped a tumultuous week for equity and bond markets and threaten to inject more uncertainty for countries, investors and businesses grappling with his trade policies. The president this week put in place sweeping higher tariffs on dozens of nations &mdash only to delay those levies hours later after seeing financial markets convulse as worries intensified that Trump&rsquo s import taxes could devastate the global economy.

Singapore Airlines (SIA) can benefit from  low oil prices  primarily through  lower operating costs, which are a major part of an airline&rsquo s expenses. Here' s how that plays out:

1. Fuel Cost Savings



  • Jet fuel  accounts for  25&ndash 40% of an airline&rsquo s total operating costs.


  • When oil prices fall (as they have recently, dropping below $63/barrel),  fuel becomes cheaper, directly boosting SIA&rsquo s bottom line.


  • Even with hedging contracts in place, airlines eventually adjust to spot market prices &mdash so SIA will see cost relief over time.

2. Better Margins and Competitiveness



  • With lower costs, SIA can:


    • Improve  profit margins  on routes, especially long-haul flights.


    • Offer more  competitive pricing  without sacrificing profit &mdash useful if demand weakens.


    • Possibly  increase frequency or open new routes  that weren&rsquo t profitable under higher fuel prices.

3. Cargo Division Boost



  • SIA Cargo also benefits from low fuel prices, helping with  air freight competitiveness, especially as global shipping adjusts to trade shifts and supply chain realignments post-tariffs.

Caveats



  • Demand-side pressure: If the U.S. tariffs slow global trade or spark recession fears,  passenger and cargo demandmight weaken &mdash especially from business travelers.


  • Geopolitical volatility might also affect oil prices and travel sentiment.

Summary:



Yes, Singapore Airlines stands to benefit from low oil prices  through reduced operating costs and improved profitability &mdash especially compared to competitors in countries facing higher U.S. tariffs or more volatile currencies. However, these gains could be limited if global demand drops sharply due to economic uncertainty
