SIA reports muted combined operating stats for Jan and Feb

The bright spot was that Silkair's numbers showed good growth of 13-14% in passenger carriage while load factor only declined marginally.

SIA reported operating statistics for February. Passengercarriage at the core SIA passenger segment rose by 6.8% y- o-y to 6,808.6m passenger-km on 5.4% increase in capacity, resulting in a 1ppt improvement in load factor to 76.1%. Cargo carriage was higher by 7.1% y-o-y to 543m tonne-km on 6.9% increase in capacity, which led to a 0.1ppt improvement in load factor to 61.9%.

Taking the combined results for Jan and Feb (to adjust for the earlier CNY effect), Paul Yong, analyst at DBS Vickers notes that passenger carriage rose by 4.4% y-o-y on 4.6% increase in capacity, while load factor declined marginally by 0.1ppt to 76.6% for the combined two months.

Combined cargo carriage declined 3.4% yoy on 1.3% decrease in capacity, which implies that cargo load factor fell by 1.4ppt to 60.2%.

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.
