The carrier flies to about 65 cities in about 35 countries, primarily in the Asia/Pacific region but also in Europe and North America. It boasts a fleet of about 100 aircraft. SIA extends its network via code-sharing with fellow members of the Star Alliance marketing partnership, such as Lufthansa.

The company filed for Chapter 11 protection from creditors in late 2008. The company was purchased by Eclipse Aerospace and officially began its business a second time in September 2009; Eclipse Aviation will maintain its name.
