SIA Group: "The challenging operating environment is expected to persist, with travel demand remaining volatile, affected by economic forces and external events. On the competitive front, expansion of other full-service airlines as well as low-cost carriers, particularly in Southeast Asia, will continue to exert pressure on loads and yields. Supported by promotional activities, advance passenger bookings for the January-March quarter are positively tracking seat capacity." Source: Company statement, 04-Feb-2016.
