SIA passenger capacity up 7.1% in December 2024

Cargo loads rose by 13.6% YoY, outpacing the 11.3% expansion in cargo capacity.

The Singapore Airlines (SIA) logged a 7.1% year-on-year passenger capacity increase last December 2024 whilst passenger traffic rose by 6%.

The group’s passenger load factor (PLF) came in at 88.5%, with SIA and Scoot Tigerair posting monthly PLFs of 88.4% and 89.2%, respectively.

The two airlines carried a total of 3.6 million passengers, up 7.1% YoY, bringing the total passenger carriage for 2024 to 39 million.

Cargo loads rose by 13.6% YoY, outpacing the 11.3% expansion in cargo capacity. It was driven by a boost in perishables traffic with China lifting its ban on Australian live rock lobster imports, and strong demand ahead of the Lunar New Year period.

Cargo operations posted a load factor of 53.6%, 1.0 percentage point higher YoY.

At the end of the period, the group’s passenger network covered 129 destinations in 36 countries. SIA served 80 destinations, whilst Scoot served 72 destinations.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

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.
