Air India losses not a threat to Singapore Airlines services: S'pore transport minister

Singapore transport minister Jeffrey Siow told Parliament that continuing financial losses at Air India do not currently threaten Singapore Airlines' ability to maintain essential local air services. Responding to parliamentary questions, the government defended SIA's twenty-five point one percent stake in the Indian carrier, emphasizing that SIA holds substantial cash reserves and undrawn credit.
