Singapore Airlines Reports Lower Profit as Air India Losses Narrow Amid Fuel Cost Rise
Singapore Airlines (SIA) reported a net profit of SGD 134 million for the first half of 2026, down 44% from the previous year, mainly due to a 20% rise in expenses driven by higher jet fuel prices. Despite this, SIA's share of losses from Air India narrowed, reflecting tangible progress in Air India's ongoing multi-year transformation. SIA and Tata Sons continue collaborating to enhance synergies and cost efficiencies between Air India and Air India Express, aiming for profitable growth amid operational improvements.
