Singapore Airlines (SIA) dropped from the top spot to fifth in a 2025 ranking of the world's best airlines!!!!!

They didn't buy enough votes this time. It's ok. They will prepare enough budget for the next one.
Only the daft doesn't understand the correlation between money spent on the right organisations and winning awards.
SIA perhaps employs too many ceca pilots and air stewardess, so naturally, it drops in ranking.
Anyway, would it drop further if it continues collaborate with CECA airlines and employ more CECA pilots?
 
No CECA high roller as demand withering

Takeaways NEW​

Global fund managers are in no rush to load up on Indian stocks even after an unprecedentedlosing streak has lowered equity valuations.

That’s because the market is still grappling with challenges posed by an economic slowdown, profit downgrades and potential US tariffs. Traders looking for bargains within Asia are gravitating toward still-cheap Chinese equities, which are in the middle of a bull run sparked by developments in artificial intelligence.
 
The CECAs probably squat on the seat, which explains the poor aim.
if ceca aunties do that, they need to unwind their saris, squat, and spray all over. their saris will then soak up the sewage spill and spread it along the aisle when desis return to seat.

Takeaways NEW​

President Donald Trump campaigned on a promise to cure what he said was an ailing US economy. Little more than a month into his second term, he’s starting to hint that the treatment might hurt.

The administration is still lavishing Americans with visions of a golden age to come. Yet in the course of a madcap week – which saw a flurry of tariffs and reversals, sparking a global trade war and a sharp stock-market decline – the tone changed a bit.

China’s national consumer price index (CPI) in February fell into negative territory for the first time since January last year, weighed down by a decline in food, tobacco and alcohol prices.

The CPI declined by 0.7% last month from a year earlier, data published Sunday by China’s National Bureau of Statistics showed, reversing a year-on-year gain of 0.5% in January.


The reading missed estimates of an annualized contraction of 0.5%, according to a Reuters poll of economists.

China’s CPI in February fell 0.2% on a monthly basis, meanwhile, compared to a rise of 0.7% in January.

The data comes as investors continue to look for signs that Beijing’s stimulus measures can help to boost the country’s economic recovery.

China on Wednesday set its GDP target for 2025 at “around 5%” and laid out plans to stabilize economic growth by propping up domestic demand.

Beijing also revised down its annual consumer price inflation target to “around 2%” — the lowest in more than two decades — from 3% or higher in prior years, according to the Asia Society Policy Institute.
