SINGAPORE: More than 1.9 million passengers flew on Singapore Airlines (SIA) and Scoot in June, a jump of about 1,362 per cent from the same period last year, as demand for air travel spiked during the mid-year holidays.
The number of passengers in June was also up 13.7 per cent from the previous month, according to SIA’s latest operating results released on Friday (Jul 15).
“Robust demand for air travel during the mid-year holidays, coupled with the start of the summer travel season, has resulted in an exceptionally strong performance in June,” said SIA Group.
“This was across every route region except East Asia, where travel restrictions continue to be in place for certain points,” it added.
Group passenger capacity was at 64 per cent of pre-COVID levels at the end of June, a 3 percentage point rise from the previous month.
