SIA Group passenger traffic up 5.4% in August

This drove the PLF up 2.3 percentage points to 88%.

Singapore Airlines (SIA) Group’s passenger traffic grew 5.4% year-on-year, exceeding the 2.7% rise in capacity.

The passenger load factor (PLF) climbed 2.3 percentage points to 88%.

SIA recorded a PLF of 86.9%, whilst Scoot hit 91.9%. Combined, the airlines carried 3.6 million passengers, up 9.4% from a year ago.

On the cargo side, front-loading demand moderated, leading to a modest 0.5% year-on-year increase in loads, below the 2.3% growth in cargo capacity.

Consequently, the cargo load factor fell by 0.9 percentage points to 55.2%.

As of the end of August 2025, the SIA Group’s passenger network spanned 129 destinations across 37 countries and territories, with SIA serving 78 destinations and Scoot 73.

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.
