Singapore Airlines Snapshot
For people in Singapore, traveling far means traveling by air, and that means Singapore Airlines (SIA). The carrier flies to about 65 cities in some 30 countries, primarily in the Asia/Pacific region but also in Europe and North America. It boasts a fleet of more than 100 aircraft. SIA extends its network via code-sharing with fellow members of the Star Alliance marketing partnership, including United Airlines and Air China. (Code-sharing allows airlines to sell tickets on one another's flights and thus offer service to additional destinations.) The government of Singapore, through Temasek Holdings, owns about 55% of SIA.
