SIA Group passenger traffic up 3.1% in May

The group’s passenger load reached 86.4%.

Singapore Airlines (SIA) Group reported a 3.1% year-on-year increase in passenger traffic for May 2025, outpacing the 2.8% growth in passenger capacity. This lifted the group’s overall passenger load factor by 0.3 percentage point to 86.4%.

SIA posted a load factor of 85.2%, whilst low-cost subsidiary Scoot achieved 91.0%.

Together, the carriers flew 3.4 million passengers during the month, a 6.3% increase compared to the same period last year.

Cargo volumes also rose, with loads climbing 4.2% year-on-year against a 2.9% increase in capacity.

The cargo load factor improved by 0.7 percentage point to 57.2%, supported by front-loading activity amid mounting uncertainty in global trade.

As of end-May, the group’s passenger network spanned 128 destinations across 36 countries and territories. SIA served 78 destinations, and Scoot 72. Its cargo network reached 132 destinations in 37 countries and territories.

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.
