    BOOSTED by exceptional gains, Singapore Airlines' fiscal third-quarter net profit roughly quadrupled to S$202.6 million from S$50.1 million for the corresponding quarter a year earlier.

    Expectations of a big boost from lower fuel prices fell flat. During the quarter, the group suffered hedging losses of S$216 million vis-a-vis a hedging gain of S$48 million previously.
