Let’s see what is driving this growth.
Singapore Airlines Ltd.
Singapore Airlines has its base at Changi Airport and operates in more than 70 destinations.
The company has benefited from the opening up of economies and the surge in air travel. In its half-yearly results for 2022-2023, the company posted record numbers with S$1.23 billion of operating profits. This offset the previous year’s losses of S$620 million. The total revenue during the first half jumped by a huge 197.7% to S$8.4 billion.
After a solid recovery in numbers, the stock gained 17% in the last three months.
The company’s effective capital management, fundraising, employee retention, and operational efficiency helped it tap the huge demand. Moving forward, the company does expect inflation to cause short-term pressure in terms of higher costs. But the company is focused on strict cost control measures to tackle this in an effective way.
Moreover, the company is eyeing its biggest market, China, to fully open, which will further push demand in 2023.
