    SINGAPORE Airlines (SIA) has endured a difficult time over the last four years.

    The national carrier fell to a record net loss of S$4.3 billion for FY2021 at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic.

    It raised S$15 billion from selling rights in 2020 and 2021, including S$9.7 billion of zero-coupon mandatory convertible bonds (MCBs), to tide the group through the pandemic that sent the global aviation industry into a tailspin.
