SIA Group net profit soars 146.7% to $1.63b in Q3

It was driven by a $1.1b gain from the Vistara-Air India merger in November 2024.

Singapore Airlines (SIA) Group reported a net profit of $1.63b for the third quarter of FY2024/25, a 146.7% increase from the previous year.

The surge was primarily driven by a $1.1b non-cash accounting gain from the disposal of Vistara, following its merger with Air India in November 2024.

The Group’s revenue hit a record $5.22b, rising 2.7% year-on-year for the three months ending 31 December 2024. This was fueled by robust air travel demand in the third quarter.

Passenger flown revenue rose 1.7% to $70m, with SIA and Scoot carrying a record 10.2 million passengers (+7.2%). However, the passenger load factor dropped to 87.2% (-1.0pp) as capacity grew 8.5%, outpacing demand. Yields fell 4.5% due to increased competition.

Cargo flown revenue climbed $54m (+9.7%), supported by strong e-commerce demand, higher freighter charters, and perishables traffic. Cargo load factor rose to 56.4% (+0.9pp), though yields declined 4.5%.

Total Group expenditure increased by $117m (+2.6%) to $4.59b, mainly due to a $258m (+8.6%) rise in non-fuel costs. However, this was partially offset by a $142m (-9.8%) drop in net fuel costs, attributed to a 20.9% decrease in fuel prices before hedging.

The group said it remains focused on managing costs and expanding capacity amid rising competition and fuel price volatility.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
