    [SINGAPORE] Singapore Airlines (SIA) has not seen any significant impact of the US tariff turmoil on its bookings for now, chief executive Goh Choon Phong said at its financial results briefing on Friday (May 16).

    He said: “At this point in time, based on what we can see in bookings, we do not see any significant impact, any material impact. So we are still seeing robust demand on our routes... It is really very uncertain. I don’t think anybody will tell you exactly what will happen.”

    However, he said the carrier group has the nimbleness and agility to manage the uncertainties ahead.
