Singapore Airlines has expressed confidence that it has the cash to ride out the coronavirus pandemic, as it also seeks to lower its monthly cash burn.
It says that a recent S$6.2 billion ($4.7 billion) convertible bond issue, in addition to its existing cash reserves, provide “the liquidity to sufficiently cover our financial needs well into FY2022/23”.
