Singapore Airlines (SIA) Group has announced a 3.1% year-on-year increase in passenger traffic for May 2025, surpassing the 2.8% rise in passenger capacity. This resulted in a slight uptick in the passenger load factor to 86.4%. The combined efforts of SIA and its low-cost subsidiary, Scoot, led to the transportation of 3.4 million passengers, marking a 6.3% increase compared to the previous year.
The group’s cargo operations also experienced growth, with cargo loads rising by 4.2% year-on-year. This increase outpaced the 2.9% expansion in cargo capacity, resulting in a cargo load factor of 57.2%, up by 0.7 percentage points. The rise in cargo demand was attributed to front-loading activities amidst growing uncertainties in the global trade environment.
SIA’s network at the end of May 2025 spanned 128 destinations across 36 countries and territories, with the airline itself serving 78 destinations. Scoot, on the other hand, covered 72 destinations. The cargo network extended to 132 destinations in 37 countries and territories.
The results highlight SIA Group’s resilience and adaptability in a challenging global market, as it continues to expand its reach and improve its operational efficiency.
