Singapore Airlines
Operational members of the Singapore Airlines Group, such as its regional and wholly-owned subsidiary, Silkair, manage flights to secondary cities with smaller capacity requirements, particularly those in Southeast Asia, China and India. Since 2001, air freight operations have also been hired off to a separate subsidiary, Singapore Airlines Cargo, which took over the entire freighter fleet from SIA, as well as management of the cargo holds in passenger-cargo aircraft. A more recent addition was the low-cost carrier Tiger Airways, which marked the group’s entry into the low-cost segment of the aviation industry.
