Singapore Airlines 23 Annual Report 2006-07
OPERATING REVIEW
The safety and security of customers and employees is
the Group’s top priority. Singapore Airlines maintains
strict international safety standards in every aspect of
its operations. Singapore Airlines works closely with
local and international security agencies to identify and
mitigate risks across the business.
Safety and security procedures are constantly reviewed
to ensure that they remain relevant and applicable. To
ensure the effectiveness of these security measures,
the procedures are regularly audited and continuously
monitored.
Singapore Airlines is committed to promoting and
enhancing fl ight safety through collaborations with
various international safety organisations. The Airline
works closely with regulators and industry bodies to
review and raise awareness of accident prevention
strategies across all areas of the business.
Safety And Security
During the year in review, Singapore Airlines contributed
over $1 million in cash and free and rebated tickets
to charities, educational and community development
programmes.
In July 2006, as part of on-going relief efforts by the
international community for the devastating South Asian
earthquake in October 2005, the Airline organised two
medical missions, involving teams of volunteer Singapore
medical practitioners, to Pakistan. The mission provided
treatment to survivors with continuing medical needs, and
also to those unable to receive treatment for debilitating
conditions because medical resources were diverted to
other, more urgent, post-quake injuries.
Through the year, volunteers from the Cabin Crew Club for
Community Care organised community projects aimed to
improve the learning and teaching facilities in orphanages
and schools in Cambodia and Bohol in Philippines.
Singapore Airlines was once again awarded the
Distinguished Patron of the Arts Award for its
contributions to local arts groups, such as Singapore
Symphonic Orchestra, Singapore Chinese Orchestra and
Singapore Lyric Opera.
Through its overseas offi ces, the Airline also supported
various local charities and communities through donations
and community work carried out by Airline staff.
