SIA Group passengers rose by 1,325% YoY in May

A total of 1,705,200 passengers were carried in May 2022.

With air travel recovery still ongoing in May 2022, the Singapore Airlines Group posted 1,705,200 passengers last month, up by 1,325% from 119,600 passengers carried in the same month in 2021.

On a monthly basis, the number of passengers served by Singapore Airlines and Scoot increased by 17.4%.

For group passenger capacity, it reached 61% of pre-Covid-191 levels in May 2022, which is four percentage points higher than the month before.

The SIA Group passenger load factor (PLF) for the month registered was at 78.2%, the highest since the pandemic began.

Meanwhile, cargo operations registered a cargo load factor of 65.4% in May 2022 or 22.3 percentage points lower than in May 2021.

SIA Group’s cargo loads went down by 3% because cargo demand was impacted by strict pandemic restrictions in China.

In May, SIA revived air travel to Medan whilst Scoot returned services to Nanjing, China.

As of the end of May 2022, SIA Group’s passenger network covered 97 destinations including Singapore, of which, SIA served 72 destinations and Scoot served 46 destinations.

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.
