Case 1 – Singapore Airlines, 2024
Teachers’ Note by Forest R. David
Case Abstract
www.singaporeair.com (OTCMTS: SINGY)
Headquartered in Singapore, Singapore Airlines Group (SIA) is among the top five largest
airlines in the world based on market capitalization as of January 2022. SIA was worth $1.5
billion as of January 2022, more than American Airlines despite American Airlines serving 350
destinations. The high valuation is reflective of the outstanding services SIA provides. Privately
held (and rival) Emirates Airline is often considered its peer based on the quality of service
offered.
Providing what many consider to be the best passenger airline flying experience on the planet,
SIA has received numerous awards. In 2020 alone, the company was voted Top Airline in Asia
by Trip Advisor, Travel + Leisure Magazine (U.S.-based) voted the airline the World’s Best
International Airline for the 25th consecutive year, and Business Traveler (Asia-Pacific-based)
voted SIA Best Airline for the 29th consecutive year. In 2021, Fortune magazine ranked SIA the
34th Most Admired Company in the World and the 2nd Most Admired Airline. In November
2021, Malaysia Airlines and SIA—two rival (but friendly) airlines—launched a Vaccinated
Travel Lane (VTL) arrangement, providing customers with seamless travel for long-distance
business or leisure travel. SIA was ranked 31st in Fortune magazine’s list of 2023 World’s Most
Admired Companies—the highest-ranked Asian firm in this list. SIA was also named Airline of
the Year in the 49th Annual Air Transport World Airline Industry Achievement Awards the
same year.
Vision Statement Analysis

writing or evaluating vision statements. Any vision statement that scores a 5 out of 5 on these
characteristics is exemplary. In Chapter 2, this vision statement assessment technique is referred
to as the “5 out of 5 test.” The five characteristics are as follows:
1. Clear: Reveals the type of industry the firm is in and what firm strives to become
2. Futuristic: Reveals what the firm strives to become or accomplish within five years
3. Concise: One sentence in length
4. Unique: Reveals the firm’s competitive advantage
5. Inspiring: Motivates readers to support the firm
SIA does not have a published vision statement, but an analyst recently offered an excellent
vision statement for the company: “We strive to be the best airline anywhere for customers, and to
