SIA Group passenger traffic jumps 2.6% YoY in July 2026

Singapore Airlines (SIA) Group reported a 2.6% increase in passenger traffic for July 2026 compared to the previous year. This growth was supported by a 5.5% rise in passenger capacity, attributed mainly to network expansion into East Asia, Europe, and the South West Pacific.

The Group’s passenger load factor stood at 86.0%, with SIA and its low-cost subsidiary, Scoot, achieving load factors of 84.8% and 90.2%, respectively. Together, the airlines carried 3.7 million passengers, marking a 4.0% increase from July 2025.

Cargo operations remained stable despite a 1.5% reduction in cargo capacity due to maintenance on freighter aircraft. This led to a slight increase in the cargo load factor, which rose by 0.8 percentage points to 57.9%.

In response to escalating conflict in the Middle East, Scoot suspended its services to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, from 14 July 2026. Meanwhile, SIA’s services to Dubai, United Arab Emirates, remain suspended.

As of 31 July 2026, the SIA Group’s passenger network spanned 136 destinations across 35 countries and territories. SIA operated flights to 78 destinations, whilst Scoot covered 84 destinations. The cargo network included 139 destinations in 36 countries and territories.
