What Happened

Fuel Costs Surge Due To Middle East Conflict

The SIA Group has posted a rare net loss of S$76 million for its first fiscal quarter, despite achieving record revenue of S$5.71 billion. The loss was driven primarily by a significant increase in fuel costs, which rose 78.5% due to the conflict in the Middle East. Passenger and cargo revenue grew, but not enough to offset the surge in fuel costs. The group’s strong balance sheet and dual-brand structure are expected to help navigate the uncertainty ahead, as reported by AeroTime.
