The mainboard-listed company is now aggressively pursuing cost-cutting measures, including salary and fee cuts for company directors and the SIA group's management, and a voluntary no-pay leave scheme for certain management positions.

It is also engaging with unions on additional cost-cutting measures, with more steps to be taken imminently, it said. The airline is currently in discussions with aircraft manufacturers to defer payment and deliveries of upcoming aircraft.
