Had a flight of SilkAir before from Kunming to Singapore years ago, mostly later by American airlines, the big difference between American airlines and Asian airlines is there are a fair amount of senior flight attendants on American airlines than Asian airline, most Asian airlines are all beautiful girls and some outstanding good looking guys, what is that?

Most Asians do not consider the FA job as lifelong career. Most do it for just a few years, to see the world, to make experience. After that, they are off to another career.

OSK revises downward SIA's projections
Published: 2009/10/16

SINGAPORE International Airlines's operating statistics for September this year continue to suggest that the worst may be over but the threat posed by downtrading in air travel and poor premium traffic still lingers, research house OSK Research said.

OSK said in an analysis of the island-state's national carrier that it was prompted to revise downward the airline's projections as the company would carry on with its aggressive pricing and capacity management.

"Nonetheless, we have decided to roll over our valuation to FY3/11 based on the existing valuation parameters of 0.85x P/B, or -1 standard deviation from its historical trading band, plus the SATS share entitlement, which translates into a new fair value of SG$11.98," it said. This implies a downside of 17.2 per cent.

SIA, the national airline of Singapore , is among the world's most profitable airlines.

Its major shareholder is the government's investment arm, Temasek Holdings (Pte) Ltd, which has a 55.49 per cent stake in the airline.

SIA’s system-wide passenger load factor improved to 80.9 per cent in September, up 4 per cent year-on-year and 2.6 per cent higher month-on-month, but this was mainly attributed to a combination of capacity cuts and promotional fares.

Premium passenger numbers remained fragile, with corporate flying being held back by a very modest rise in cross-border business activities.

During the month, OSK said the overall number of passengers carried by SIA dipped 10 per cent over the same month last year to 1.4 million.

The airline is monitoring traffic movements and making the appropriate adjustments to match capacity to forward demand.
"We have witnessed a constant cargo load factor (CLF) since SIA implemented aggressive capacity management," said OSK.

In September, system-wide cargo capacity fell 17.3 per cent y-o-y while cargo traffic (freight tonne km) declined by 14.5 per cent, which translates into 63.2 per cent in CLF.

"While economies across the globe begin to see signs of recovery, which is positive to cargo numbers, we are conservative on the possibility of the division returning to the black in FY10," OSK said.

"The latest operating statistics reaffirm our view that worst may be over for SIA, but we continue to think the gestation period for premium airlines like SIA make take longer to return to their days of glory," said OSK.

Recent news reports quoting SIA’s CEO as saying there were “double digit” decline in yields in the quarter ended September prompt us to cut our revenue passenger km (RPK) estimates from 11 to 10.5 cents for FY10 but by a mere 0.1 cent for FY11.

"We believe that downtrading from business to economy class travel and from premium class to low cost carriers (LCCs) may persist."

"However, as the carrier has decided to stick to its plan to reduce capacity by 11 per cent through March 2010 to fill up seats, we are tuning up our systemwide load assumption by 1.5 percent for FY10 to 76 per cent and one percent for FY11 to 77.5 percent," it said.

SIA plane scrapes Air China jet at Beijing airport
Sun, Aug 1 2010

Pilot error was likely to be behind the incident, Chinese reports said.

BEIJING - Two aircraft collided at Beijing’s international airport on Saturday, China’s state media reported.

The wing of a taxiing Singapore Airlines (SIA) Boeing 777 hit the tail of a stationary Air China Boeing 737-800, Xinhua said.

Pilot error was likely to be behind the incident, in which no one was hurt, said the report, citing an official from China’s Civil Aviation Administration.

According to The Straits Times, 248 passengers were onboard the Singapore-bound SQ803 when the minor collision occurred around 9am Saturday. The passengers were told to disembark two hours later and transferred to hotels because the flight had to be cancelled.

"Engineers were inspecting the plane to see if the aircraft could be fixed immediately," an airline spokesman was quoted as saying in the report.

Beijing’s airport, which was shrouded in fog at the time of the incident, is home to one of the world’s largest terminals, the 98-hectare (245-acre) Terminal Three, designed by Norman Foster and opened in the run-up to the Beijing Olympics in 2008.

SIA Network Expands to Sixth Continent With First South American Destination

SINGAPORE, Sept. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Singapore Airlines will add a sixth continent to its route network in March 2011 with the launch of thrice-weekly flights between Singapore and the Brazilian city of Sao Paulo, via Barcelona in Spain.

Sao Paulo will be the Airline's first South American destination. A dynamic metropolis, Brazil's largest city is an arts and entertainment centre as well as an influential player in the areas of commerce and finance within the region.

Flights will operate between Barcelona and Sao Paulo's Guarulhos International Airport under codeshare arrangements with Star Alliance partner Spanair. The codeshare will help facilitate travel from Spanair's network to Sao Paulo through its Barcelona hub. SIA already adds its code to Spanair domestic flights between Barcelona and Bilbao, Madrid and Palma Mallorca.

"We are very excited about this new service which will help boost ties between Singapore and Brazil and pave the way for enhanced trade, tourism and travel links between Asia and South America. It will also provide a direct link between Barcelona and Sao Paulo," said Mr Bey Soo Khiang, Singapore Airlines' Senior Executive Vice President Marketing & Corporate Services.

"Singapore Airlines has been eyeing opportunities in the fast-growing South American market for some time. We are pleased to be able to add a sixth continent to our route network and be the only airline offering direct flights between Southeast Asia and Brazil."

Singapore Airlines currently flies daily between Singapore and Barcelona via Milan in Italy. With the new service, three of the flights will operate non-stop between Singapore and Barcelona while four will continue to operate on a Singapore-Milan-Barcelona routing. To ensure that both Barcelona and Milan will continue to be served daily, thrice-weekly non-stop Singapore-Milan services will be introduced.

Details of flight times for the new Singapore-Barcelona-Sao Paulo service will be announced at a later date.
