Singapore Airlines' passenger carriage predicted to edge up 4-5%

Will this growth be enough?

According to DBS, the outlook for SIA, while still fairly muted, is gradually improving.

Focusing on its flagship passenger business, which is the key driver to the Group’s profitability, that this segment should see a gradual improvement in its earnings over the next few quarters, in line with the mild recovery outlook for the global economy.

Here's more from DBS:

SIA’s passenger carriage has finally recovered to a level last achieved in Oct 2008, with an annual (12-month rolling) RPK of over 94,000m p-km.

Looking ahead, we expect passenger growth of between 4%-5% per annum for SIA.

Meanwhile, load factors for the passenger business have also been stabilising and we are projecting a load factor of 79.5% for FYE Mar ‘14 and FY15 respectively, compared to 79.3% for FY13.

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.
