The stronger returning traffic amidst the summer holidays improved PLF.

Singapore Airlines (SIA) Group's passenger load factor (PLF) inched up 4.4 ppt YoY to 84.8% in August. On a monthly basis, it improved 0.2 ppt from 84.6% in July, an announcement revealed.

Passenger carriage (measured in revenue passenger kilometres) increased 8.9% YoY whilst capacity increased 3.2%. PLF improved for all route regions amidst the stronger returning traffic from the summer holidays.

For SilkAir, the systemwide passenger carriage grew 8.8%, ahead of capacity growth of 3.9%. Consequently, the carrier’s PLF inched up 3.6 ppt to 79.4% and PLF improved for all route regions.

Meanwhile, Scoot recorded a passenger carriage growth of 23.5%, exceeding capacity expansion of 18.7%. Its PLF grew 3.5 ppt to 88.3%. Scoot’s PLF on all route regions improved as demand outpaced changes in capacity. Selected routes to North Asia, India, Vietnam and Australia saw sustained improvement.
