Singapore Airlines Group (SIA) posted 3.3% growth in the third quarter operating profit to $629 million. This is the highest quarterly revenue on record passenger carriage, despite declining yields due to stiffer competition. Group revenue was a record $5.2 billion for the three months ended 31 December 2024, up $137 million. Passenger flown revenue improved by $70 million (+1.7%), with SIA and Scoot carrying a quarterly record of 10.2 million passengers. Group passenger load factor declined slightly by one percentage point to 87.2%. SIA says declining yields were a result of stiffer competition. Group costs were up to $4,59 billion, driven by higher non-fuel expenditure. Still, effective cost management measures kept the rise in non-fuel expenditure below the growth in overall capacity it says. Net fuel cost was lower due to a 20.9% drop in fuel prices before hedging. The Group recorded an operating profit of $629 million for the third quarter up by $20 million compared to a year ago. Shareholder equity stood at $15.4 billion as of 31 December 2024, down $1 billion from 31 March 2024, primarily due to the redemption of the remaining Mandatory Convertible Bonds (MCBs) in June 2024. SIA is bullish on continued demand for air travel into the last quarter of FY2024/25, even as the operating landscape continues to be competitive.

Singapore Airlines Group carriers SIA and Scoot carried 19.2 million passengers in the first half of 2024, a 10.8% year-on-year increase. However due to capacity expansion of 11%, load factor dipped by 2.4% to 86.4%. SIA says demand for air travel remained healthy in the first six months as group revenue rose $335 million (+3.7%) to $9,497 million. Passenger flown revenue was up $118 million it said. Still increased competition impacted its yields, which fell 5.6%. Despite the impact of general price inflation, the Group kept the rise in non-fuel costs to be largely in line with the 10.6% growth in overall capacity. Overall, the Group recorded an operating profit of $796 million in the first half which is down $758 million from the previous year. The Group posted a net profit of $742 million, $699 million less than the previous year primarily due to the weaker operating performance. Other contributing factors included lower net interest income and a loss on disposal of aircraft, spares, and spare engines versus a gain last year. As of 30 September 2024, Group shareholders’ equity was $13.7 billion, a $2.6 billion decline from 31 March 2024, largely due to the redemption of all remaining Mandatory Convertible Bonds (MCBs) in June 2024. As of 30 September 2024, the Group’s passenger network covered 127 destinations in 36 countries and territories. SIA served 78 destinations while Scoot served 71.
