Singapore Airlines Cargo dismayed by FTC fine

Singapore Airlines Cargo is seriously considering mounting an appeal after the South Korean Fair Trade Commission (FTC) issued fines worth US$98 million to 19 airlines.

"The FTC found the airlines guilty of conspiring to introduce fuel surcharges for freight cargoes or continued to raise them over the past seven years. This is estimated to have resulted in the loss if $5 billion worth of sales in the South Korean market," said an Aircargo news report.

Singapore Airlines Cargo has released a statement saying they are "very disappointed" and "will study the decision closely with a serious view towards mounting an appeal" once they receive the Commission's full reasoning.

The said airlines include Korean Air Lines, Asiana Airlines, Air France, Cathay Pacific Airways, Japan Airlines International and Lufthansa.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
