Singapore Airlines load factor up for 5th month

SIA’s PLF rose encouragingly to 83.0% from 78.8% in Jun 2011.

Singapore Airlines (SIA) released its Jun 2012 operating statistics and the parent airline’s passenger load factor (PLF) improved YoY for the fifth month in a row.

SIA’s PLF rose encouragingly to 83.0% from 78.8% in Jun 2011.

SIA said the summer travel peak season started in Jun 2012 and passenger traffic was boosted by promotional activities, resulting in PLF improvement across all regions.

OCBC however notes that passenger yields are expected to fall as a result of the promotional fares. Elsewhere, SilkAir’s PLF fell 0.4ppt to 78.7% and SIA Cargo’s freight load factor slid 0.9ppt to 63.1%.

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.
