Company Background
Singapore Airlines (SIA) considers itself a "premium" airline. It prides itself on quality service, differentiating itself from its fast-growing low-cost peers. Wholly owned subsidiary SilkAir flies short-haul regional routes, also providing premium services. Goh Choon Phong has been the airline operator's CEO since December 2010; he has been with Singapore Airlines since 1990. The airline began as Malayan Airways in 1947 before going independent under its current name. Singapore sovereign wealth fund Temasek Holdings owns more than 50% of the company.
SIA has stakes in two low-cost carriers. Tiger Airways Holdings was established in 2004 and now operates in Asia and Australia under the Tigerair brand. It is restructuring after posting three consecutive annual losses. Wholly owned Scoot, set up in 2011 to handle middle- to long-haul routes, is reportedly loss-making. After selling off a 49% stake in Virgin Atlantic to Delta Air Lines, SIA shifted its attention to India. Vistara, a New Delhi-based joint-venture with the Tata Group will initially fly only over India, though plans are to assign it international routes once regulatory approvals are given.
