thebalanced.newsSingapore Airlines Profit Falls 57% Due to Air India Losses and Accounting Changes
Singapore Airlines Group reported a 57.4% decline in net profit to SGD 1.184 billion for fiscal year 2025-26, mainly due to the absence of a prior-year one-off accounting gain and full-year losses from its 25.1% stake in Air India. Air India posted its largest annual loss since the Tata Group takeover in 2022, amounting to SGD 3.56 billion (approximately USD 2.8 billion), amid high operating costs and airspace challenges. Despite these losses, Singapore Airlines remains committed to its investment, viewing it as key to its multi-hub strategy.
