Singapore Airlines’ net profit down 58.8% to $186m in Q1

SIA and Scoot carried a record 10.3 million passengers during the period.

Singapore Airlines (SIA) reported a net profit of $186m for the first quarter of FY2025/26, a 58.8% decline from the same period last year.

Operating profit was 13.8% lower at $405m, according to a bourse filing in July 2025.

SIA blamed the net profit decline to lower interest income and share of losses and associates.

“Passenger yields declined due to industry-wide capacity growth, whilst rising non-fuel costs from inflationary pressures offset lower fuel prices,” the airlines said in a press release.

Total revenue rose 1.5% to $4.79b compared to a year ago. Total expenditure fell 3.2% to $4.39b.

Despite economic and geopolitical uncertainties across the network, demand for air travel and cargo remained strong, SIA said. SIA and Scoot carried a record 10.3 million passengers, up 6.9% from the same quarter last year.

Group passenger load factor inched up 0.7 percentage point to 87.6% as traffic growth of 4.1% surpassed capacity expansion of 3.3%.

Passenger yields slipped 2.9% to 10.0 cents per revenue passenger-kilometre amidst heightened competition as more airlines continue to add capacity.

Cargo flown revenue fell by 1.9% to $10m (-1.9%), as yields deteriorated 4.4%.

Cargo load factor (CLF) declined by 0.8 percentage point (ppt) to 56.9% as cargo load growth
of 2.8% lagged capacity expansion of 4.2%.

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.
