SIA has been ranked 34th in a list of 50 most admired companies by American business magazine Fortune. It is the only Southeast Asian company in the World's Most Admired Companies list, and one of only three Asian businesses. Tech giants Apple, Amazon and Microsoft took the top three spots. The annual ranking is done via an independent survey of about 3,800 senior executives, directors and industry analysts. It seeks to identify the companies that have the strongest reputations within their industries and across industries. Companies are evaluated on nine attributes, such as their ability to attract talents and the quality of their management. Other airlines in the list are American carriers Southwest (No. 14) and Delta (No. 23). SIA was ranked No. 28 last year and No. 18 in 2019. The carrier said in a statement on Tuesday that the award is a recognition of its commitment to product, service and corporate excellence. "It also attests to the success of our ongoing transformation journey, and the company's continuous drive to innovate and incorporate digital technologies across our business," SIA added.<br/>
