Staff are trained to reduce food and drink wastage. Operations Airport and gate operations, ticketing, flight scheduling, baggage handling, repair & maintenance SIA endeavors to reduce costs through improving efficiency and adopting best practices. Outbound logistics Flight connections, partnerships and alliances with other operators Routes are constantly being added and subtracted from the company’s route map to optimize load factors. Marketing & sales Promotion, advertising The company’s success in achieving awards provides free publicity and promotes the company and its brand. Service Pre and post flight service Online booking of meals and seats allows better forward planning. Social media provides a low cost means of building connections with customers. Firm infrastructure Management system – yield management, IT services, budgeting Small headquarters located in low-cost location.
