Singapore Airlines says Premium demand is returning

Singapore Airlines Vice President for Public Affairs, Nicholas Ionides, stated the carrier believes Premium demand is returning, particularly in Business class, and expects demand to continue to grow in the long term (CNBC.com, 02-Feb-2010).

Singapore Airlines: "Last year we were asked almost every single day why don't we rip out business class seats and put more economy class seats in because business travelers are trading down to economy. We have to take a long-term focus and we are seeing business traffic demand, in particular, pick up. So it's looking good," Nicholas Ionides, Vice President for Public Affairs.
