Enough already!: SIA adds seats faster than they’re demanded

With 76.6% passenger load factor in August, the airline may continue to suffer drops if it doesn’t stop increasing capacity.

OCBC Investment Research said, “SIA may continue to experience falling passenger load factors if 1) it continues its 5% capacity increase for the rest of FY11 and 2) the upcoming peak air travel months disappoint.”

It was noted that Singapore Airlines added passenger capacity faster than air travel demand growth in August. “This resulted in a fall in passenger load factor to 76.6%, below the recently released load factors of international flights worldwide and in Asia Pacific (from the IATA),” said OCBC.

The analyst said SIA's falling load factors are expected.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
