Singapore Airlines (SIA) has been named one of Singapore`s top brands in the inaugural “Singapore Brand Award 2002” given by International Enterprise Singapore.

This prestigious award is given out to recognise listed companies with the highest brand values and the use of branding as a key strategic tool to differentiate from competition, fortify customer base and to enhance a company`s performance
Accepting the award, Mr Michael Tan, SIA`s Senior Executive Vice-President (Commercial), said, “We are honoured to be selected as one of the top brands in Singapore. Ever since its inception in 1972, Singapore Airlines has been paying particular attention to build a strong image and brand as a national airline, to distinguish itself in the international aviation industry. I am heartened indeed that SIA is now recognised and identified as a top airline brand in the world. We will continue to pursue excellence and innovation to strengthen the SIA brand.”

SIA, one of the world`s leading carriers, serves a global network that spans over 90 destinations in nearly 40 countries. Along with its wholly-owned subsidiary, SilkAir, the Airline operates a modern fleet of over 100 aircraft with direct links to Europe, American, Australia and throughout Asia.

The Airline`s growth is founded on its dedication to be an international market leader. Combining innovative quality products with excellent service, on the back of a modern fleet averaging slightly over five years, it has since established itself as a pioneer in inflight services, and the leader in air travel.

Singapore Airlines is listed on the Singapore Stock Exchange. For the financial year 2001-02, the Group reported revenues of S$9,448 million.

The Star Alliance member was first formed in 1972. For more information on Singapore Airlines, please visit our website www.singaporeair.com.
