Singapore Airlines’s passenger traffic drops 11.7% in January

This is due to the suspension of new ticket sales.

Singapore Airlines’ passenger traffic declined 11.7% month-on-month in January on the back of the suspension of new ticket sales from 22 December 2021 to 20 January 2022.

“Ticket sales have continued on VTL services for travel from 21 January 2022 onwards, but they remain subject to a 50% reduction in arrival quotas,” the airlines said.

Apart from passenger traffic, the airlines also saw a drop in its passenger load factor for January 2022 by 6.5 percentage points to 40.0%.

As of the end of January, the SIA group served a combined 86 destinations including Singapore. This was an increase of one from last month since its low-cost carrier Scoot has resumed operation to Amritsar.

OF the total destinations served, Singapore Airlines covered 63, whilst Scoot covered 36.

On its cargo operations, the SIA group registered a cargo load factor (CLF) of 76.0% in January 2022, or 13.2 percentage points lower year-on-year with all route regions recording lower CLF during the month.

“The 33.9% growth in loads (freight tonne-kilometres) trailed behind the capacity (capacity tonne-kilometre) expansion of 57.3%,” the airlines reported.
