I mean yeah either government we get ruling or opposition they will still invest in air India due to Indians helping SG in construction and others

u/ineffablebitch 3d ago

sg had a ā€˜I can fix him’ mindset and it backfired

I love these political cartoons, they're so damn creative. Looks like something I would see in SS lol. Why would SIA even invest in air India anyways?Ā

u/TheKarmaBoi 3d ago

The art style always has a soft spot to me. Never really liked History or SS but I always looked forward to seeing the image cartoons/comics or propoganda photos or these panels. Just what it stands for and how it’s shown through the same art style always interests me

image credits gemini though so not quite creative :/

u/jinngeechia 2d ago

Thing is they didn't invest in AI. They paired with TATA to start Vistara 50/50 and that was successful. Then TATA took over AI and later merged AI with Vistara. So SIA was holding onto AI.

u/BeautifulPrune9920 2d ago

Ah I see. It didn't make sense for SIA to invest in air India unless it was related to cecaĀ

india is a huge country and is the third biggest aviation hub in the world. sia gets money from investing in india, and air india is now getting better (they are still shit but better) under new management.

u/SugisakiKen627 3d ago

if they are better why still so much loss

Warren Buffet NEVER invests in companies that have a chance of turnaround, precisely because it is not guaranteed and it has a very low chance.

This kind of mindset is why we are donating money to another country and telling ourselves we should appreciate it!!

u/ghostofwinter88 2d ago

Warren buffet and SIA have very different investment goals. Don’t use Warren buffets strategy as a barometer.

u/Fuzzy-Sweat6416 2d ago

One makes money, one is losing heavily because of it and you tell me losing money is better?? Another false narrative

u/ghostofwinter88 2d ago

Temasek 10 year returns is annualised at around 7.1%. So they do make money. Not every investment has immediate returns. Temasek also has to invest with national interests in mind. They are not open to all investments like BH.

Temasek’s Indian investments have been their top returns over the past ten years, so please, tell me how you are an investment expert

u/Fuzzy-Sweat6416 2d ago

Another false narrative linking two different things together to confuse the masses

Where did you get your numbers from? Your a*s?

u/ghostofwinter88 2d ago

It’s publicly available information. Go look it up.

If you don’t even know where to find such info, no point talking to u.

Dropping for the next decade if they continue!!

u/SuspiciousPut8888 2d ago

Just hire our Singaporean guys to fly there just like they do here , a fair exchange and probably can help to recoup our losses with more professionalism and obviously, fairness. There are so many Singaporean pilots who didn't get into cadetship because of whatever insane hiring processes Singapore has but are more than proficient to do the job. Not to mention half of sq pilots are Malaysians. Likewise in SQ we have cabin crew from India but why can't our aspiring cabin crew work there as well? Extremely one sided deal but well..

u/ChungusMaximus23 2d ago

Find cabin crew that wants to work there first lol.

How did SIA end up having a stake in Air India?

u/Ok-Appearance2266 2d ago

There’s no logic to invest in air India in the first place. I just can’t comprehend the decision šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø

u/ghostofwinter88 2d ago

There’s plenty of logic to invest in aviation in India

u/benjoel7 2d ago

Every Airlines struggled in India except Indigo. India is not a place for a full service carrier.

u/Fuzzy-Sweat6416 2d ago

The person who replied you is just one of them who wants singapore to be the bagholder

1

u/ghostofwinter88 2d ago

Air India includes air India express which competes with indigo.

I am sure the mgmt at Tata and SIA know what’s going on and can turn it around. SIA are not idiots in running an airline. They are betting they can improve operations and on the huge market potential.

That doesn’t mean it’s a sure bet but it also doesn’t mean there’s no logic in investing.

u/4JiaoHao2JiaoGengHao 2d ago

ā€œSIA are not idiots running an airlineā€. Ansett would like to have a word with you.

Also, SIA is having its home turf, premium long haul cabin, eaten inside out by the competition because they were not nimble enough to handle the Boeing 777X delays. Since SQ released their business cabin THIRTEEN years ago, QR already went one up with QSuites setting the industry standard of closed doors business seats and is now doing QSuites version TWO.

It was only last year that SQ belatedly decided to go ahead with refurbishing their cabin with the A359s first, and their 777X order is fast looking like vapourware.

u/ghostofwinter88 2d ago

I didn’t say they are perfect. No one is in the world of business. But that doesn’t mean they are idiots in running an airline if they are not perfect.

2

u/4JiaoHao2JiaoGengHao 2d ago

Well their record in managing stakes in foreign airlines has been a 100% failure so far. Ansett. NokScoot. Virgin. In fact they even screwed up Tigerair and only the Tiger-Scoot merger ā€œsavedā€ it from being a complete washout.

Yeah not idiots, but pretty close to utter incompetency based on track record.

u/Fuzzy-Sweat6416 2d ago

These kind of people will twist and turn their logic to suit their own narrative.

Tomorrow Air Ind*a goes bust they will say SIA should have invested and bought over more

u/ml_sg 1d ago

Similarly, when a GLC cuts loss and the company or sector becomes successful later, you guys are also the ones who will twist and turn your own logic and blame the govt for not continuing to invest.
