SINGAPORE: Investors are turning bearish on Singapore Airlines Ltd (SIA) after profit plunged 81% in the biggest decline in seven years.

Shares of the Singapore flag carrier fell as much as 2% yesterday, and traded at S$9.36 (RM28.43) as of 1:09 pm in the city-state. That’s in contrast with other Asian airlines led by Korean Air Lines Co, which advanced after crude futures dropped the most in three years Tuesday on a darker demand outlook.
