SIA to be Sold
- Thread starter Reddog
- Start date
The money they got from the sales benefited you kiwis?
Of course not. No government is interested in helping its citizens. The NZ government is no different from the sinkie government in this regard.
The only people who benefitted from the sale were the government cronies that were involved in the divestment process and earned big fat commissions.
Be careful what you wish for....
I'm rooting for one of the telcos....preferably Singtel
halo deh lets walk on the runway leow si boh
That's too broad and dim view. Strategic economic, public or infrastructure interests ("nationalisation" by another name)?
Aren't kiwis bureaucrats into rail, ferries and energy?
SIA should review its half-baked game plan now, warns report
Its strategy is incoherent, analysts argue.
Singapore Airlines needs to revise its strategy if it wants to claw back market share from low-cost carriers (LCCs) and Middle Eastern airlines, according to a report by Aspire Aviation.
In particular, the report argues that SIA’s strategy of allowing frequent flyers to earn and redeem Krisflyer miles on budget carriers Tigerair and Scoot over routes both served by SIA and SilkAir leads to cannibalisation and does not help in boosting the parent airline’s bottomline.
“So far Singapore Airlines’ response to the multiple-front threat of the rise of Middle Eastern carriers and low-cost carriers (LCCs) is piecemeal and incoherent. [This strategy] has further blurred the line of differentiation on the product front and lowered the switching cost for its most price-elastic Economy passengers and lowest-tier Krisflyer members,” said the report.
Although it can be argued that SIA’s strategy works by boosting its low-cost subsidiaries’ growth, Aspire Aviation notes that such cannibalisation gives the parent airline less room for growth.
“All in all, this is about maximising the economic value added by each unit without stepping on each other’s toes. Only without such internal cannibalisation could Singapore Airlines realise the full potential of its portfolio strategy. At the namesake SIA brand, eliminating the cannibalisation could give it more leeway to slash costs whilst providing exemplary services,” said the report.
“Or else SIA will be under further squeeze, boxed in between group subsidiaries and relentless external competition. It is time to revisit the half-baked strategy, before it is too late,” Aspire Aviation urged.

I doubt they will sell SIA.
Spore is an island & if they have to "run road" how are they going to do that
After selling off of NOL, it's harder to ship out.
Also, if LHL, Ho Ching, ... etc get ill overseas, which other airline would give them a FREE ride back
They got entire SAF at their disposal....
At most buy a new 380 and rebadged it as RSAF's to standby as leegime's run road ride
Maybe, if the price is right.
What will never be sold will be mediacorpse - being tools of the pap.
i am not surprised. everything is outsourced to foreigners. even the ownership of national iconic companies are being transferred to foreign organizations.
Kiwi was sold and bought again. Government owned energy companies are now 49% privately owned. Government maintains controlling stake.
I'm sure the Singapore government would be only too happy for local private equity. However because sinkies are so useless none have made it big enough to pay the tab.
