    SINGAPORE Airlines (SIA) surprised with a fourth-quarter loss, as the bottom line was weighed down by a provision for SIA Cargo as well as weaker operating profit.

    The group's net loss was S$138.3 million for the three months ended March 31, versus a net profit of S$224.7 million a year ago, missing analysts' expectations of a S$54.3 million profit, according to a Bloomberg poll.
