On back of lower fuel costs.
Singapore Airlines (SIA) reported that its full-year net profit grew 2.3% to $367.9m in FY14, on back of a steep decline in fuel costs.

For the fourth quarter, SIA's net profit surged 46.7% to $39.6m, driven by lower opex from lower fuel prices and improved passenger yields.
THe group declared a full-year dividend of 31.2 cents, higher than the 30.3 cents it paid out in the previous financial year.
