Singapore Airlines Group has reported a significant increase in its net profit, thanks to the growing demand for air travel. The company is expecting to continue participating directly in the fast-growing Indian aviation market ahead of its merger of Air India and Vistara.
The joint venture between Singapore Airlines and Tatas will give SIA a 25.1% stake in Air India Group once regulatory approvals are completed. The merger will significantly strengthen SIA’s multi-hub strategy and will allow for direct participation in all key segments of the Indian airline market, including international, domestic, full-service, and low-cost.
Though Singapore Airlines is expecting healthy demand for air travel in the coming year, it is cautious about passenger yields, which are still likely to continue to moderate due to factors such as increased airline capacity injection worldwide, geopolitical tensions, supply chain constraints, and high inflation in many regions. The airline industry still faces challenges despite a strong demand for travel in Southeast Asia and North Asia in the first quarter of FY2024/25.
