SIA transports more passengers in October after capacity cuts

The national carrier flew 1.6m people last month.

Singapore Airlines reported better operating statistics for the month of October, after the total number of its passengers grew 2.9% to 1.6 million people.

The national carrier’s systemwide passenger carriage, measured in revenue passenger kilometres, improved 1.9% compared to last year. The improvement came after a 0.5% reduction in capacity, as measured in available seat kilometres.

Consequently, passenger load factor (PLF) improved 1.8 percentage points to 79%. Apart from East Asia where PLF was flat, PLF improved for all regions.

Including its subsidiaries SilkAir, Tigerair and Scoot, the SIA Group ferried over 2.5 million people last month. This marks an improvement of 3.8% year-on-year.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
