0107 GMT - The Middle East conflict is likely to ultimately weigh on Singapore Airlines despite boosting demand for the airline's Europe flights, says CGS International's Raymond Yap in an email. The airline's flights and cargo services to Europe could benefit from stronger demand and pricing as carriers from the Middle East region are unable to fly. SIA could also be protected from higher jet fuel prices due to the escalating conflict to a certain extent, given that it typically hedges nearly 50% of its fuel over a few months, he adds. Still, Yap expects the effect of more expensive jet fuel to outweigh any potential gains from higher demand. (megan.cheah@wsj.com)
