ANNUAL REPORT 2012/13
10 Exceptional Items (in $ million)
During the financial year, the Group’s exceptional items pertained to provision for penalties and costs agreed between
Singapore Airlines Cargo (“SIA Cargo”) and the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission for an amount
of AUD12.2 million ($15.5 million) and the New Zealand Commerce Commission for an amount of NZD4.4 million
($4.4 million). The penalties and costs were recommended by the parties and endorsed by the respective Courts, bringing
the Commissions’ air cargo investigations and proceedings in Australia and New Zealand to a close for SIA Cargo.
During the previous financial year, the Company and SIA Cargo accepted a settlement offer from the plaintiffs in the
Canadian air cargo class actions to resolve all such actions on an agreed basis for an amount of CAD1.05 million
($1.3 million). The settlement is without admission of any wrongdoing or liability and has been approved by the relevant
courts in Canada and is final.
With regard to an investigation conducted by the South African Competition Commission (“SACC”) concerning price-
fixing on certain routes, a settlement agreement was reached which included an administrative penalty of ZAR25 million
($4.1 million). The Competition Tribunal confirmed the settlement agreement between the Company and the SACC and the
Company has paid the agreed upon administrative penalty during the financial year.
