SIA, Scoot’s number of passengers soars to 893,000 in March 2022

This was attributed to an increased vaccinated travel lane quota for daily arrivals.

Singapore Airlines (SIA) and its subsidiary, Scoot, carried 893,000 passengers in March 2022, an increase from 544,600 in February 2022.

This is after travel restrictions eased and the government increased the vaccinated travel lane quota for daily arrivals.

Cargo loads went up 16.6% on the back of a capacity increase of 48.3% caused by progressive resumption of passenger flights. Cargo load factor was at 72.5% in March 2022 or 19.8 percentage points lower year-on-year.

SIA noted that growth in cargo loads was restricted by pandemic controls in China and Hong Kong that limited exports from those markets.

Also, in March, the SIA Group reverted its services to several destinations in Australia and Southeast Asia, as well as to Cape Town (via Johannesburg), Gatwick (via Bangkok) and Newark.

The SIA Group’s passenger network covered 93 destinations at the end of March 2022. This number is two thirds of the points flown prior to the COVID-19 crisis. Specifically, SIA served 69 destinations while Scoot served 43 destinations as of end-March 2022.

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.
