A subsidiary of Singapore Airlines, this airline now suffers in sales after the influx of budget airlines. It used to charge much less than Singapore Airlines and got quite a bit of business from travelers. But with the introduction of many low cost airlines flying to exactly the same destinations as it is flying, many travelers have opted for different choices!
SilkAir flies mostly by 737 aircrafts so it shouldn't command that premium over the other low cost airlines. The only advantage is probably because it still offer "free" meals (which are already factored into its pricing)!
