SIA's overall passenger traffic slipped 3.3% in April

It ferried 1.48m passengers last month.

Fewer people flew with Singapore Airlines in April compared to the same period last year. 

The national carrier reported that it ferried 1.48 million passengers last month, down from 1.53m passengers in April 2014.

SIA reported that demand was generally softer this April on account of the Easter traffic shift into the month of March 2015.

The national carrier's systemwide passenger carriage, measured in revenue passenger kilometres, decreased 5% against last year. This was on back of a 3.3% reduction in capacity, measured in available seat kilometres. Consequently, passenger load factor (PLF) dropped 1.4 percentage points to 75.3%.

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.
