That is because if I were to go places to Japan/Korea/Australia, I will fly on ANA/Korea Air/Qantas because of the cheaper alternative. Even when flying to Europe, its always Qatar airways.
SIA does not seem to be competing for the lower end tourist segment but fighting for premium passengers
I also fly only for leisure.
Although SIA is not my first choice now, there are advantages of flying direct :
- more convenient and safer to fly direct to countries if one has young children / elderly
- there are countries whose airlines do not have as good a track record
Most of my neighbours also do not fancy SIA.
Thus, I wld guess most of the SIA economy class customers are those whose source country is not Singapore coz I think the tickets are cheaper if one were to fly out from a foreign country via SIA ?
Having said that, I do not enjoy flying anyway, may change my mind if I get to fly business class one day. ha ha.
