SIA Group net profit soars 146.7% to $1.63b in Q3

It was driven by a $1.1b gain from the Vistara-Air India merger in November 2024.

Singapore Airlines (SIA) Group reported a net profit of $1.63b for the third quarter of FY2024/25, a 146.7% increase from the previous year.

The surge was primarily driven by a $1.1b non-cash accounting gain from the disposal of Vistara, following its merger with Air India in November 2024.

The Group’s revenue hit a record $5.22b, rising 2.7% year-on-year for the three months ending 31 December 2024. This was fueled by robust air travel demand in the third quarter.

Passenger flown revenue rose 1.7% to $70m, with SIA and Scoot carrying a record 10.2 million passengers (+7.2%). However, the passenger load factor dropped to 87.2% (-1.0pp) as capacity grew 8.5%, outpacing demand. Yields fell 4.5% due to increased competition.

Cargo flown revenue climbed $54m (+9.7%), supported by strong e-commerce demand, higher freighter charters, and perishables traffic. Cargo load factor rose to 56.4% (+0.9pp), though yields declined 4.5%.

Total Group expenditure increased by $117m (+2.6%) to $4.59b, mainly due to a $258m (+8.6%) rise in non-fuel costs. However, this was partially offset by a $142m (-9.8%) drop in net fuel costs, attributed to a 20.9% decrease in fuel prices before hedging.

The group said it remains focused on managing costs and expanding capacity amid rising competition and fuel price volatility.

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.
