SINGAPORE AIRLINES Annual Report FY2016/17 MISSION STATEMENT Singapore Airlines is a global company dedicated to providing air transportation services of the highest quality and to maximising returns for the benefit of its shareholders and employees. OUR JOURNEY CONTINUES... CELEBRATING 70 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE: The Singapore Airlines Group’s history dates back to 1947 with the maiden flight of Malayan Airways Limited. The airline was later renamed Malaysian Airways Limited, and then Malaysia-Singapore Airlines. In 1972, Malaysia-Singapore Airlines split into Singapore Airlines and Malaysian Airline System. Initially operating a modest fleet of 10 aircraft to 22 cities in 18 countries, Singapore Airlines’ commitment to service excellence, product leadership and network connectivity quickly distinguished it as a world-class international airline group. Today, Singapore Airlines operates a modern passenger fleet of more than 100 aircraft. Together with wholly-owned subsidiaries SilkAir, Scoot, Tiger Airways (which operates as Tigerair) and SIA Cargo, the SIA Group fleet comprises nearly 180 aircraft. The combined passenger network covers 131 destinations in 35 countries. More than 31 million passengers were carried by the SIA Group’s four Singapore-based passenger airlines in the 2016/17 financial year. Singapore Airlines and its subsidiaries today employ more than 25,000 staff, with the world-famous Singapore Girl as an iconic symbol of quality customer care and service.
