Sofa chairs are unoccupied inside Singapore Airlines' busine

SINGAPORE - JANUARY 09: Sofa chairs are unoccupied inside Singapore Airlines' business class lounge at Changi airport's new Terminal 3 in Singapore, on Wednesday, Jan. 9, 2008. Singapore Airlines Ltd. may have won by losing. While the company's failure to secure a 24 percent stake in money-losing China Eastern Airlines Corp. thwarted Chief Executive Officer Chew Choon Seng's plan for a Shanghai hub, it has $3 billion in cash and two new fuel-saving Airbus SAS A380 aircraft -- and gets 40 percent of sales from business-class passengers.
