Singapore Airlines (SIA) Group experienced a notable rise in passenger traffic in October 2025, with a 5.3% year-on-year increase, driven by sustained demand for air travel. This growth outpaced the 3.7% rise in passenger capacity, leading to a 1.3 percentage point increase in the Group’s passenger load factor, reaching 87.3%.
SIA reported a monthly passenger load factor of 86.8%, whilst its low-cost subsidiary, Scoot, achieved 89.0%. Together, the airlines transported 3.6 million passengers, marking an 8.3% increase compared to the previous year. Scoot also expanded its network by launching services to Da Nang, Vietnam, and Kota Bharu, Malaysia, enhancing the Group’s presence in South East Asia.
Conversely, the cargo sector faced challenges due to global trade tensions, resulting in a 4.6% decline in cargo carriage year-on-year. Cargo loads dropped by 9.1%, whilst cargo capacity saw a slight increase of 0.3%. Consequently, the cargo load factor decreased by 5.6 percentage points to 53.5%.
By the end of October, the SIA Group’s passenger network spanned 130 destinations across 37 countries and territories, with SIA serving 78 destinations and Scoot 75. The cargo network included 134 destinations in 38 countries and territories.
