LESS expensive jet fuel and a S$117 million refund of a competition-related fine gave lift to Singapore Airlines' wings as it posted a net profit of S$224.7 million for the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2016, up from just S$39.6 million a year ago.
However, yields continued to suffer amid tough competition as SIA, regional wing SilkAir and SIA Cargo reported lower figures. In particular, overcapacity in the cargo market caused SIA Cargo's yields to tumble sharply by 15.5 per cent year-on-year to 26.8 cents/ltk (load-tonne-kilometre).
