Singapore Airlines (SIA) Group reported a robust increase in passenger demand for July 2025, with traffic rising by 6.2% compared to the same period last year. This growth outpaced the 2.8% expansion in passenger capacity, resulting in a passenger load factor of 88.5%, up by 2.9 percentage points year-on-year.
The group, which includes both Singapore Airlines and its low-cost subsidiary Scoot, carried a total of 3.5 million passengers, marking a 9.7% increase from the previous year. Singapore Airlines achieved a passenger load factor of 87.4%, whilst Scoot reached 92.2%. The increase in passenger numbers was largely attributed to the traditional summer peak season.
Cargo operations, however, faced challenges. Despite a 2.1% year-on-year increase in cargo loads, the growth was slightly below the 2.7% rise in cargo capacity. Consequently, the cargo load factor decreased by 0.3 percentage points to 57.1%. The demand for cargo was supported by front-loading activity amidst tariff uncertainties, although at a slower pace than in previous months.
By the end of July 2025, the SIA Group’s passenger network spanned 129 destinations across 37 countries and territories, with Singapore Airlines serving 78 destinations and Scoot 73. The cargo network covered 133 destinations in 38 countries and territories. This extensive network underscores the group’s commitment to maintaining a strong global presence.
