Singapore Airlines (SIA) Group has announced its operating results for February 2026, revealing a 3.8% year-on-year increase in passenger traffic. This growth was slightly below the 4.9% rise in passenger capacity. The Group’s passenger load factor stood at 85.6%, with SIA and its low-cost subsidiary, Scoot, achieving monthly load factors of 84.9% and 88.1%, respectively.
The combined passenger carriage for the Group increased by 7.2% year-on-year, reaching 3.3 million passengers. This surge was largely attributed to the shift of the Lunar New Year period from January in 2025 to February in 2026, boosting holiday travel demand.
In the cargo sector, SIA Group reported an 8.8% increase in cargo loads, despite a 0.5% decrease in capacity. The cargo load factor improved by 4.8 percentage points, reaching 56.7%. This growth was driven by heightened demand ahead of the Lunar New Year celebrations.
Scoot, the budget arm of SIA, expanded its network by launching new services to Medan, Indonesia, during the month. By the end of February 2026, the Group’s passenger network encompassed 136 destinations across 37 countries and territories, with SIA serving 78 destinations and Scoot covering 82. The cargo network included 140 destinations in 38 countries and territories.
These results highlight the SIA Group’s continued recovery and expansion efforts, as it adapts to shifting travel patterns and demand.
