Singapore Airlines (SIA) Group has announced a significant rise in passenger traffic for December 2025, with a 1.9% increase compared to the previous year. This growth, coupled with a 2.6% rise in passenger capacity, resulted in a passenger load factor of 87.9% for the group. SIA and its low-cost subsidiary, Scoot, achieved monthly passenger load factors of 87.6% and 89.1%, respectively.
The group carried a combined total of 3.8 million passengers in December, marking a 4.8% year-on-year increase and setting a new monthly record. This surge was driven by the peak travel demand during the year-end period. For the entire year of 2025, SIA Group transported 41.6 million passengers, surpassing the previous record of 39 million set in 2024.
In the cargo sector, SIA Group experienced a 7.4% year-on-year increase in cargo carriage, supported by heightened freighter activity and traditional year-end demand. Cargo loads rose by 4.5%, outpacing the 1.6% growth in cargo capacity, leading to a cargo load factor of 55.2%, up by 1.6 percentage points.
Scoot expanded its network in December by launching passenger services to Labuan Bajo and Semarang in Indonesia, and Okinawa in Japan.
