Singapore Airlines' passenger load factor slides 3.9ppt

Even SilkAir made disappointing results.

According to OCBC, Singapore Airlines continues to experience tepid demand for its premium services despite the continuation of its promotional fare strategy. 

The firm also added that while the drop-off from the seasonal year-end peak was expected, the rate of its PLF decline from Dec was disappointing with capacity growth outstripping passenger demand.

"The Group’s parent airline saw PLF decline 3.9ppt to 78.3% for Jan (+1.3ppt from a year ago) while SilkAir’s PLF slide was more pronounced at 9.6ppt to 67.5% (-8.7ppt from a year ago)," OCBC said.

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.
