SIA shares closed at S$4.11 on Tuesday, up S$0.23 or 5.9 per cent, before this announcement.

ST Engineering, SIA Engineering Company: With the enhanced Jobs Support Scheme, companies such as ST Engineering and SIA Engineering will receive millions in additional wage support to cushion the blow that Covid-19 has dealt the aerospace industry.
