Singapore Airlines' cargo growth dipped 6% in August

Is the recent capacity drop to be blamed?

According to CIMB, mainline passenger loads improved 4% pts in Aug as travel was boosted by strong leisure travel over the summer as well as the shift in the Hari Raya period from late Aug to early Aug.

Traffic rose 9% even though capacity increased just 3% yoy. Encouragingly, improvement in load factors was evident across all route regions last month.

Here's more from CIMB:

In contrast, SilkAir’s loads declined 2% pts as capacity growth of 13% outpaced traffic growth of 11% last month.

Cargo growth fell 6% yoy even though capacity declined just 5% last month. Excluding Chinese New Year distortions, air freight traffic has waned for 20 consecutive months.

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.
