Singapore Airlines Annual Report 05/06
SUPPORTING OUR
COMMUNITIES
Singapore Airlines believes in the
importance of supporting, and
being a good corporate citizen, in
the communities it serves.
During the year in review, the
Airline contributed over $2 million
in cash and travel to charities,
community development
programmes, philanthropic and
promotional events aimed at
supporting those causes.
In June 2005, as part of an
outreach programme project, the
Cabin Crew Club for Community
Service initiated a six-month
programme to feed as well as to
improve the learning and teaching
conditions in two schools in Bohol
in the Philippines.
The Airline provides educational
assistance to communities through
local scholarship programmes such
as the Singapore Airlines untuk
Pendidikan in Indonesia, the Smiling
Together project in Thailand and the
Singapore Airlines Bantay Edkasyon
Project in the Philippines.
The Airline is a supporter of the arts
both at home and overseas. For its
support to organisations such as
Singapore Symphony Orchestra,
Singapore Chinese Orchestra and
Singapore Lyric Opera, Singapore
Airlines was again honoured
with the National Arts Council
Distinguished Patron of the Arts
Award. The award recognises private
sector support for the development
of a vibrant arts scene in Singapore.
In Australia, the Airline was
presented the Partnership of the
Year Award in the Commitment
Category by the Australian
Business Arts Foundation for its
18 continuous years as a sponsor
of Art Exhibition Australia (AEA).
AEA curates exhibitions of some
of the world’s most precious art
works for audiences in Australia.
Singapore Airlines is the only airline
with specialised skills to handle the
movement of the works for such
exhibitions.
Singapore Airline’s support for
regions affected by the devastating
tsunami in December 2004
continued, with contributions
aimed at rebuilding tourism
and normalising the economic
foundations of those regions.
