Singapore Minister Defends Singapore Airlines' Long-Term Investment in Air India
Singapore's Transport Minister Jeffrey Siow defended Singapore Airlines' 25.1% stake in Air India amid scrutiny over the Indian carrier's ongoing multibillion-dollar turnaround, which may take up to a decade and require about $1.5 billion in fresh equity. Siow emphasized that Singapore Airlines funds investments from its own balance sheet without seeking additional shareholder capital and views the investment as a long-term strategic move. The airline's ability to serve Singaporeans remains unaffected, according to current assessments.
