In an indication of the change in market conditions during the reported year, SIA eked out an operating profit of S$9.7 million in the second half of its fiscal 2022 financial year compared with an operating loss of S$619.4 million in the first half.

“Singapore's launch and subsequent expansion of the Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) scheme was the game changer,” SIA said. The airline group, Singapore Airlines and Scoot, said forward sales, measured as a percentage of the total number of seats available in the three months to August 2022, are approaching pre-COVID-19 levels. “Key markets around the world have further eased travel restrictions, supporting a strong recovery in air travel demand across all cabin classes,” SIA said. “The group will closely monitor demand, remain nimble and alert to all opportunities that may arise and adjust its capacity and services accordingly,” SIA Group said.
