Community Relations
SIA recognizes that its business depends
on the support of the communities it
serves. To this end, during the year in
review it contributed over $1 million in
cash and in free and rebated tickets to
charities, community development
programmes and philanthropic or
promotional events.
Apart from continuing to support
education programmes in Indonesia (Siap)
and the Philippines (Bantay Bata), SIA
supported the Shooting Star Trust, a
charity based in the United Kingdom to
raise funds to build, equip and run a
hospice for children with life-limiting
medical conditions. The Shooting Star
Children’s Hospice is due to open in the
summer of 2004. It will provide free
medical treatment, advice and counselling
to child patients and their families.
SIA also supports various local arts
organizations, among them the Singapore
Symphony Orchestra and the Singapore
Lyric Opera. Under the SIA-NAC Travel
Grant Scheme, run in conjunction with
the National Arts Council, SIA provides air
tickets for local artistes to travel overseas
for performances or competitions. In the
field of sport, the Airline has actively
supported the Football Association of
Singapore for the past three years by
providing tickets for players and officials
to travel abroad and, in the past year, has
also provided tickets for the Singapore
Sports School.
