Singapore Airlines (SIA) has announced it will reward its employees with a profit-sharing bonus equivalent to 7.45 months of salary. This follows a record net profit of S$2.78 billion for the financial year ending March 31, 2025. The Singapore Airlines Bonus, while slightly lower than the 7.94 months awarded last year, remains one of the most generous in the airline industry. Here’s what we know about the Singapore Airlines Bonus and how you can start a career with them if you want a payout like this in the future.
Singapore Airlines Bonus 2025
The bonus is part of a longstanding agreement between SIA and its staff unions, which is designed to recognise employees dedication and hard work, during a year of significant achievement for the airline. Interestingly, the record profit was partly attributed to a one-off, non-cash accounting gain from the merger between Air India and Vistara which boosted the airline’s bottom line.
Despite the strong results, SIA’s management has cautioned about potential headwinds ahead, including tariff and trade tensions as well as broader economic and geopolitical uncertainties that could impact demand.
Singapore Airlines workforce has grown to an average of 18,000 employees in FY2025. This reflects a 7.6% increase year-on-year. Meanwhile, staff expenses also rose by 6% to S$3.8 billion showcasing the company’s commitment to investing in its people even during a competitive market.
Certainly, the bonus announcement has been widely welcomed by staff and is seen as a testament to the airline’s culture of rewarding performance and fostering loyalty. And if you want to be one of these lucky employees, read on below.
