Demise of SilkAir. It began life as a leisure airline known as Tradewinds in 1989, flying passengers to “exotic” holiday destinations like Pattaya and Phuket in Thailand, as well as Tioman in Malaysia. Now, more than 30 years since its inception, Singapore-based SilkAir will be no more, after parent company Singapore Airlines disclosed a definitive timeline for the integration of its regional unit into mainline operations. It was the morning of May 18, 2018, hours after it disclosed its full-year results for the 2017/2018 financial year, that SIA announced that it was absorbing SilkAir into mainline operations, to streamline the overall group structure.
