SIA's March passenger load factor fall to 75%
SINGAPORE Airlines' (SIA) passenger load factor fell 4.3 percentage points to 75 per cent last month, as passenger carriage declined and capacity remained flat.
SIA's systemwide passenger carriage (measured in revenue passenger kilometres) was down 5.4 per cent year-on-year, while the number of passengers carried decreased by 3.8 per cent to 1.5 million.
"Passenger load factors (PLF) declined across all route regions," said the airline in a release to the Singapore Exchange yesterday. "The weaker passenger carriage was attributed to a combination of the Easter demand shift from March last year to April this year, and soft demand to Bangkok."
