Singapore Airlines' new manager in New Zealand, Looi Tein-Po, is facing a tough challenge. Like other airlines, Singapore faces soaring fuel costs and global economic contraction.

The 44-year-old started six months ago at the end of a year boosted by heavy outbound travel to the America's Cup and Rugby World Cup.

The airline will move into trickier territory later this year.

"It's a bit more challenging but in the short term we're still seeing good demand," he said.
