LOCAL aviation-related counters posted a surge in their share prices on Monday, when a third vaccine against the novel coronavirus was authorised over the weekend for use in the United States.
Singapore Airlines (SIA) delivered a 5.22 per cent increase in share price, while aviation-related counters closed higher: ground-handler and inflight caterer Sats rose 1.82 per cent, SIA Engineering jumped 4.41 per cent and ST Engineering 3.99 per cent higher.
The global picture was no less rosy.
