After a tough few years due to the pandemic, Singapore Airlines has been at the forefront of recovery in Asia-Pacific, reaching nearly 90% load factors and record profits this summer. To hear more about how the flag carrier of Singapore has managed to bounce back so well, we sit down with its GM of UK and Ireland, Mohamed Rafi Mar.

We'll be going live on August 24th at 10:00 London, for a relaxed and informal conversation that is free and open for everyone to enjoy.

Robust results

The SIA Air Group recorded a profit of $734 Million in the third quarter of 2023. In our conversation, we will go through the airline's previous results this year, keen to find out how the company has been performing during the first half of 2023 and how it has adapted to industry challenges.

In its latest posting, SIA shared the following about its passenger activity:

"Group passenger capacity expanded by 32.4% year-on-year as restrictions on international air travel eased globally. SIA and Scoot carried 8.4 million passengers during the quarter, 65.5% higher than a year before, with strong demand across all route regions and market segments. Passenger traffic and load factors improved across all markets, with the year-on-year traffic growth of 49.0% outpacing the capacity expansion."

We will also speak about how passengers and staff have responded to recent initiatives and how the carrier is continuing to evolve to meet requirements. However, with the Airbus A380 seeing plenty of action this summer, we will find out how the jumbo has been performing for the airline.

Mar has held several positions with Singapore Airlines across the continents, allowing him to have a well-rounded perspective of the current climate throughout the aviation market. We will dive into market projections for the upcoming years. After all, the airline continues to up capacity in response to demand. By March 2024, SIA's frequencies are expected to reach pre-pandemic levels to multiple destinations in Asia and beyond.

We'll talk to Singapore Airlines’ management about everything from how it came out of the pandemic unscathed to Boeing 737 MAX orders, as well as how its Boeing and Airbus widebodies have been performing.

With Singapore Airlines boasting such a rich history and a stronghold on global aviation, this webinar is not to be missed. Mar will offer plenty of insight into the world of the Changi Airport-based airline, even touching on activity with TATA in India.
