Singapore Airlines: KrisFlyer Programme Celebrates 25 Years!

SilverKris Lounge
KrisFlyer is marking two major milestones as the Singapore Airline (SIA) Group's lifestyle programme celebrates it's 25th anniversary while also marking the milestone of crossing eight million members in January 2024.

The KirsFlyer reward programme introduced by SIA allows its loyal fliers to explore extensive dining, shopping and a variety of other experiences on top of earning and redeeming miles. As SIA puts it, ‘be rewarded for doing the things you love’. With this, KrisFlyers get to accumulate miles to redeem or upgrade their next flight as well as mix miles and cash to offset the cost of tickets. 

Marking 25 Years to KrisFlyers

SIA launched the frequent flyer rewards system all the way back in 1999, marking its 25th anniversary this year. On this happy occasion, SIA also announced another milestone as the membership programme reached eight million members in January 2024!

Today, KrisFlyer is a market-leading lifestyle-centric rewards programme thanks to the strong support of our members, who enjoy wide-ranging accrual and redemtopn opportunities beyond flights to various needs in their daily life. We look forward to celebrating out 25th anniversary and KrisFlyer’s membership milestone with these wide-ranging promotions. We will continue to find ways to enhance the programme’s value to our members in the coming years says Mr. Dai Haoyu, Acting Senior Vice President Marketing Planning, Singapore Airline.

China Halts Boeing Aircraft Purchases Amid Rising U.S. Tensions

China Boeing Aircraft Purchases Halted Amid Rising U.S. Tensions

China has escalated the ongoing U.S.-China trade conflict by instructing its domestic airlines to stop accepting new deliveries of Boeing aircraft. This significant move follows the United States’ imposition of hefty tariffs on Chinese goods. In response, China slapped 125% tariffs on U.S. exports. The new restrictions, as reported by Bloomberg, include halting the purchase of Boeing aircraft and any associated U.S. aerospace parts or equipment.

This decision severely impacts Boeing, one of America’s largest exporters. Boeing has long viewed China as a crucial growth market, especially as the Chinese aviation industry expands. The halt affects the delivery of Boeing 737 MAX jets, with approximately ten aircraft ready for delivery. However, the government may still allow planes for which payment and delivery documents were completed before the tariffs took effect, on a case-by-case basis.

The move comes amid escalating tensions between the two economic superpowers. U.S. President Donald Trump increased tariffs on Chinese imports up to 145%, prompting China to retaliate with its own tariffs. This situation has forced companies like Boeing to grapple with rising costs and logistical uncertainties. Boeing’s stock has already taken a significant hit, with shares falling 7% since the beginning of the year.

The Chinese government is also considering how to assist domestic airlines that lease Boeing jets, as these carriers face rising costs due to the tariffs. While the decision poses a setback for Boeing, it could benefit Airbus, which has a more established presence in China. As the dispute evolves, the global aviation industry remains uncertain about the long-term effects of these trade restrictions.

In addition to halting aircraft deliveries, China has tightened its control over the supply of critical aerospace components, complicating the situation for both U.S. and Chinese manufacturers.
