Singapore Airlines passenger traffic up 4.8% in April

Passenger capacity also grew by 4%.

Singapore Airlines (SIA) Group saw a 4.8% increase in passenger traffic in April 2025.

The growth was supported in part by the shift of the Easter holidays from March 2024 to April 2025.

Passenger capacity rose 4%, pushing the Group’s passenger load factor (PLF) up 0.7 percentage points to 87.9%.

SIA and Scoot recorded PLFs of 86.9% and 91.4%, carrying a combined total of 3.4 million passengers, 6.4% more than last year.

Cargo demand grew in East and West Asia due to front-loading, although demand softened in the Americas and Europe.

Overall cargo load grew 4.0% year-on-year, but this lagged behind a 6.6% increase in cargo capacity, leading to a decline in the Group’s cargo load factor by 1.5 percentage points to 57.1%.

In service updates, Scoot launched new flights to Iloilo City in the Philippines, whilst SIA suspended its service to Houston, USA.

At April 2025’s end, the group’s passenger network covered 128 destinations in 36 countries, with SIA serving 78 and Scoot 72. The cargo network included 132 destinations in 37 countries.

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.
