Singapore Airlines achieved a profit attributable to equity holders of
$2,049 million for the financial year 2007-08. High demand across most
markets was the main factor that led to the Airline carrying more customers
than ever before.
Shareholders will benefit from this good operating result, with the Board
proposing a final dividend of 80 cents per share. Together with the interim
dividend of 20 cents, this means a total dividend for the year of $1.00
per share.
The highlight of the year in review was the entry into service of the
world’s largest passenger aircraft, the Airbus A380. Singapore Airlines is
the first airline in the world to operate this new plane, which has won
accolades from customers and commentators the world over.
The Airline will exercise prudent cost discipline in the face of rising fuel
prices. We will continue to focus on matching capacity with demand,
and strive to compete on the basis of Singapore Airlines’ longstanding
commitments to customer service and innovation.
