Singapore Airlines (SIA) emerged in May 1947 as part of the amalgamation of Malayan Airways Limited (MSA) by the Ocean Steamship Company of Liverpool, the Straits Steamship Company of Singapore and Imperial Airways. In 1972 when SIA wanted to expand its international routes with Malaysia wanting to extend its domestic routes, MSA ceased operations resulting in the creation of SIA and the Malaysian Airlines System.
