SIA's overall passenger traffic slipped 3.3% in April

It ferried 1.48m passengers last month.

Fewer people flew with Singapore Airlines in April compared to the same period last year. 

The national carrier reported that it ferried 1.48 million passengers last month, down from 1.53m passengers in April 2014.

SIA reported that demand was generally softer this April on account of the Easter traffic shift into the month of March 2015.

The national carrier's systemwide passenger carriage, measured in revenue passenger kilometres, decreased 5% against last year. This was on back of a 3.3% reduction in capacity, measured in available seat kilometres. Consequently, passenger load factor (PLF) dropped 1.4 percentage points to 75.3%.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
