Singapore Airlines Ltd. (C6L.SG) said Thursday its fiscal first quarter net profit fell 8.6% on year, mainly because a one-time gain had boosted income last year.


Net profit in the June quarter was 235.1 million Singapore dollars (US$173.2 million), compared with S$256.6 million in the same period last year. Revenue rose 5.6% on year to S$3.86 billion, Singapore Airlines said in a statement to Singapore Exchange.


Fuel costs rose 3.4% on-year to S$925.7 million, mainly due to higher average price of oil this year. The company's fuel hedging loss, however was lower in the quarter. For the second quarter, Singapore Airlines said it has hedged 42% of its fuel requirement at an average price of US$63 per barrel based on a local benchmark.
