n.m. not meaningful
SIA Cargo’s revenue declined $104 million (-3.7 per cent) largely due to weaker yields, while expenditure increased $167
million (+6.3 per cent) mainly driven by higher fuel cost. This translated into an operating loss of $119 million for 2011-12,
as opposed to a profit of $151 million a year ago.
In 2011-12, cargo capacity (in capacity tonne kilometers) expanded 0.7 per cent, while overall cargo traffic (in load tonne
kilometers) was almost flat, resulting in a marginal drop in cargo load factor to 63.8 per cent. Cargo breakeven load factor
climbed 5.7 percentage points to 67.3 per cent from a combination of higher unit cost (+5.4 per cent) and weaker yields
(-3.6 per cent).
During the financial year, 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 is subject to court approval.
The exception items of $202 million for the previous financial year comprised fines paid by SIA Cargo as imposed by the
European Commission, the South Korean Fair Trade Commission and as agreed with the United States Department of Justice
Antitrust Division.
As at 31 March 2012, SIA Cargo operated a fleet of 13 B747-400 freighters. SIA Cargo’s equity was $1,477 million (-6.1 per cent).
