Up, up and away: SIA’s passenger load factor rebounds to 81.6% in July

It rose 2.8% from June's 78.8%.

DBS says Silkair also fared well, with its load factor rising to 75.3%.

Here’s more from DBS:

Singapore Airlines reported a good rebound in carriage growth and load factors for July 2011 on a m-o-m basis. Passenger carriage grew by 4.5% yoy to 7,839.3m p-km, on 5.5% yoy growth in capacity. Passenger load factor dropped marginally by 0.8ppt to 81.6%, which is considered favorable compared to load factors of 74.6% (-3ppt yoy) in April, 73.6% (- 1.2ppt) in May and 78.8% in June (-4ppt yoy). Silkair continued to fare well, registering 7.1% yoy carriage growth and 1.4ppt improvement in load factor to 75.3%. For the cargo business, carriage grew by 2.2% yoy to 627.2m tonne-km and load factor improved by 1ppt to 65% in July.

This set of numbers is in line with our expectations that Q1, from April to June, should be the worst quarter for SIA, with 75.6% passenger load factor, and that coming quarters should be stronger for SIA.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
