SIA revived

SIA Group passenger capacity up 9.7% in September, outpacing passenger traffic growth
In total, the national carrier and its low-cost arm Scoot carried 3.1 million passengers that month 

SINGAPORE Airlines : C6L +1.1% (SIA) Group posted a 9.7 per cent increase in passenger capacity in September, outpacing the 7.7 per cent growth in passenger traffic recorded that month.

The national carrier and its low-cost arm Scoot flew a total of 3.1 million passengers in September, up 7.9 per cent from the year before, the group' s latest operating update indicated on Tuesday (Oct 15). 

Group passenger load factor clocked in at 86.1 per cent, with SIA and Scoot posting monthly load factors of 85.7 per cent and 87.3 per cent, respectively.
The passenger load factor measures how much the airline' s passenger capacity has been utilised. It is calculated by dividing the airline' s revenue passenger kilometres by its available seat kilometres.

Cargo loads rose by 12 per cent on the year, supported by stronger demand due to new mobile product launches, said SIA. This surpassed the expansion of cargo capacity, which was up 10.4 per cent. 

Cargo operations consequently saw a load factor of 58 per cent, up 0.9 percentage point from a year ago.

During the month, Scoot launched services to Subang, Malaysia, and Kertajati, Indonesia, expanding SIA Group&rsquo s network in South-east Asia.

The issue isn' t revenue/capacity/load, etc.   The issue is profit and escalating cost.   SIA needs to manage their fuel hedges and manpower cost.   If they can do that, the share price will moon.

As long as SIA avoids Lebanese airspace and that so called cursed axis (Iran-Iraq-Syria) airspace, it should be fine for SIA and any other airline.
As for high crude, let us first see how well SIA hedges its fuel requirement. That would be critical.
And stop paying its staff so high bonuses, reduce and cut operational costs as tougher times are ahead for the airline industry in terms of competition and operational costs!

waitlonglong2011      ( Date: 13-Oct-2024 13:02) Posted: Unsettled Mid-East and high oil price, this is not going anywhere far...just my thought.

 

Just ask the travellers, so much pent up travelling angst after COVID. So much SIA sales with tens of thousands of discounted tickets. Holiday goers to Japan, etc. .. ..., expanding SIA networks with brand new fleets... ...

BTW, I seldom travel SIA, why? Simply because its per seat per kilometer is so very high!

Perhaps that is why SIA makes so much profit! 

But travellers like me are nowadays turning to alternative airlines... ... so SIA is gonna find it more difficult to profit here. Anyway, there are many others Luxe customers SIA can make money off. After all, there is that slogan " no better way to fly than to fly SIA."

Believe it or not?

Good thing for sure. Everyone gets to travel.

Yes.  Next open STRONG BUY.  The price correction is likely over.  Today short volume is extremely high at 60% and only managed to suppressed the price by 1 cents.  Normal average short volume is about 24% for the last 27 days.  That show that underlying support at this price is very strong.

Singapore Airlines Group Hits 99% Of Pre-COVID Passengers In August The Singapore Airlines Group is looking more and more like a snowball gathering speed and getting bigger as it hurtles down a mountain. In August, the Group, which includes Singapore Airlines and Scoot, carried 99% of the passengers it had in August 2019 and is operating at 99% of its pre-pandemic capacity with a passenger load factor of 85.7%. For the second consecutive month, the Group has solidified its post-pandemic recovery and has restored nearly all of its performance metrics to 2019 levels. Most airlines in the Asia-Pacific region are seeing their markets soften, and with overcapacity creeping in, there is much more pressure on pricing than at the same time last year, although that is welcome news for customers. The key to success has been the skillful management of returning grounded aircraft to service and putting them back on historically successful routes. Scoot has been adept at hunting out new routes that were crying out for a reliable low-cost carrier to emerge, while Singapore Airlines (SIA) has been disciplined in adding new routes but aggressive in known regions, such as Australia, where it now operates more than 130 weekly services.
