SINGAPORE: Singapore Airlines Ltd said the S$6.2bil (US$4.7bil or RM19.36bil) raised through convertible bonds, along with existing cash reserves, should cover its financial needs well into the year ending March 2023, according to a statement yesterday.

The nation’s flagship carrier was responding to questions from the Securities Investors Association (Singapore) last month about whether it has considered privatisation. Singapore Airlines said that privatisation wasn’t a matter for it to consider because it is a shareholder action.
