SIA passenger demand to remain low despite vaccine lane approvals

It will take longer for the flag carrier to recover to pre-COVID levels.

According to a recently released report by UOB Kay Hian, Singapore Airlines’s passenger capacity is expected to exceed passenger demand.

This comes as Singapore recently announced a Vaccine Travel Lane for fully vaccinated travelers from Germany and Brunei from 8 September to 22 October 2021. Other countries are also planned expansions for the program.

However, CIMB points to the lack of increase in ticket prices as a sign that the capacity still exceeds demand for this. Tickets to Munich and Frankfurt, key German cities, in particular, show no change when compared to pre-pandemic levels for both back-end and front-end travel.

CIMB predicts this to be the case over the next two years, which is in line with SIA’s own guidance for the normalisation of pax yields.

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.
