SIA flew 1.5m passengers in August

Load factors improved across most regions due to strong summer demand and earlier Lebaran holiday travel.

Singapore Airlines' systemwide passenger carriage in August 2012 grew 8.7% year-on-year against a 6.4% increase in capacity, resulting to improved passenger load factor by 1.7 percentage points to 78.3%.

Meanwhile passenger load factor for East Asia and South West Pacific route regions declined as growth in demand was outstripped by the increases in capacity.

SIA said promotional activities are expected to continue to place downward pressure on passenger yields.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
