Singapore Airlines (SIA) Group experienced a 4.1% increase in passenger traffic in June 2026, driven by strong demand for air travel. The group’s passenger capacity expanded by 6.0% compared to the previous year, resulting in a passenger load factor of 87.1%. SIA and its low-cost subsidiary, Scoot, achieved monthly passenger load factors of 86.4% and 89.5%, respectively, carrying a combined total of 3.7 million passengers, marking a 6.3% rise from the previous year.
Cargo operations also saw significant growth, with an 8.5% increase in cargo and mail carried, attributed to movements related to artificial intelligence and data centres, as well as a surge in e-commerce volumes to Europe ahead of new EU regulations. Despite a 2.3% reduction in cargo capacity, the cargo load factor improved by 4.2 percentage points to 60.6%.
In June, SIA launched new services to Hangzhou, China, whilst Scoot commenced flights to Pontianak, Indonesia, and resumed services to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, before suspending them in mid-July due to regional tensions. As of the end of June, the SIA Group’s passenger network spanned 137 destinations across 36 countries and territories, with SIA serving 78 destinations and Scoot covering 85. The cargo network included 139 destinations in the same number of countries and territories.
