FY25/26 net profit came in at $1,184 million, 57.4% lower than a year ago
Net profit declined due to the absence of a prior year one-off accounting gain, coupled with the share of full year losses from Air India
The Group holds one of the strongest balance sheets in the airline industry and is well positioned to navigate the volatile operating environment
Proposed final ordinary dividend of 22 cents per share and second tranche special dividend of 7 cents per share. Including interim ordinary dividend and special dividend paid-out, the total dividend for FY2025/26 will be 37 cents per share

The SIA Group is firmly committed to achieving net zero carbon emissions from its operations by 2050
SIA Group's decarbonisation strategy is aligned with IATA's Four-Pillar Strategy
New Technology
Operational Efficiencies
Offsets and Carbon Capture
Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF)
Operating a young and modern fleet is currently the most efficient way to reduce emissions (~+20% fuel efficiency)
78% of the SIA Group's fleet are new-gen aircraft1; expected to reach ~90% by 2030
SIA Group fleet's average age is 7.8 yrs vs 15.6 yrs global fleet age
Leveraging digital technologies to identify and implement fuel productivity initiatives
SIA and Scoot target 5% of total fuel requirements from SAF by 2030
Since 2024, we have purchased 2,000 tonnes of neat SAF from Neste and ~2,500 tonnes of CORSIA-eligible SAF (emissions reductions) from World Energy and SkyNRG
In Feb 2026, SIA and Scoot - together with CAAS, the Singapore Sustainable Aviation Fuel Company (SAFCo) and seven other companies - signed an MoU to trial SAF purchases in
Reduced liquid fuel use will still leave residual emissions
