SIA suffers lower passenger load factor across all regions

Systemwide passenger carriage dropped 2.6% year-on-year in November.

Meanwhile capacity, measured in available seat kilometers, grew by 2.2%. This resulted to passenger load factor falling by 3.7 percentage points to 75.2%. SIA said the number of passengers carried decreased 2.7% over the same month last year to 1.39 million.

The airline reported that all regions registered lower PLFs over the same month last year.

“Despite growth in passenger carriage, load factor for the Americas region declined as the increase in traffic still lagged behind the rate of capacity expansion,” said SIA.

The flood situation in Thailand meanwhile also affected demand, particularly on the Bangkok routes in the East Asia region. Passenger load factor for Europe was also lower as the ongoing economic uncertainties over the Eurozone impacted travel demand.

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.
