Singapore Airlines load factor up for 5th month

SIA’s PLF rose encouragingly to 83.0% from 78.8% in Jun 2011.

Singapore Airlines (SIA) released its Jun 2012 operating statistics and the parent airline’s passenger load factor (PLF) improved YoY for the fifth month in a row.

SIA’s PLF rose encouragingly to 83.0% from 78.8% in Jun 2011.

SIA said the summer travel peak season started in Jun 2012 and passenger traffic was boosted by promotional activities, resulting in PLF improvement across all regions.

OCBC however notes that passenger yields are expected to fall as a result of the promotional fares. Elsewhere, SilkAir’s PLF fell 0.4ppt to 78.7% and SIA Cargo’s freight load factor slid 0.9ppt to 63.1%.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
