Air India transformation has no shortcut says Singapore Airlines CEO amid major external shocks

Air India transformation has no shortcut says Singapore Airlines CEO amid major external shocks

Singapore Airlines CEO Goh Choon Phong said Air India’s turnaround is a “long game” with no quick fixes, blaming “largely external” pressures. In SIA’s briefing on its fiscal 2025-26 results, he pointed to Pakistan airspace closure for over a year, rupee depreciation, supply-chain disruptions, Middle East conflict, and post-AI171 crash capacity constraints. Air India posted losses of more than SGD 3.56 billion (over Rs 26,700 crore) for FY ended March 2026, while SIA highlighted workforce changes as part of Air India’s multi-year transformation.
