PR departments, with a scale of operations that infringe on monopolies with power well beyond just market control. Their sphere of litigious influence not only causes the media to think twice on reporting minor transgressions but also regulatory investigations will be kept hush hush for long periods. Large airlines have the ability to hide investigations and delay them until much after the event, which markedly reduces the negative public perception of the incident.
SQ is majority owned by the Singapore government. Who are the ones who investigated them. Its the Singaporean government protecting the image of their national asset. I see this incident has barely made a ripple in any media, Singapore or abroad even though SQ is one of the biggest international carriers in this country. The media is only interested in attacking one carrier at the moment.
