Singapore Airlines Group Adds Capacity As Traffic Keeps Growing

Overcapacity in North Asia is starting to affect passenger loads at Singapore Airlines and Scoot, although the group has fully recovered post-COVID.

The carrier has entered an interline agreement with Scoot using the new platform.

Scoot is eagerly awaiting the arrival of two more Embraer E190-E2s, which will operate on new routes and increase frequencies on others.

In an unwelcome development, rising fuel prices have dented first-quarter profits for the Singapore Airlines Group.

Singapore Airlines had a particularly good June, helping the Group, which includes Scoot, recover to 99% of pre-COVID levels.

Scoot is the sixth and final airline to shortly commence jet flights at Kuala Lumpur Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport, formerly the Subang Airport.

Singapore Airlines and Scoot have been the standout performers in Asia in the post-pandemic period and are still growing.

The Singapore Airlines Group has followed a clear strategy of being the first mover in Asia, which has paid off in record revenues and profits.

The airline said that its Embraer E190-E2s would improve connectivity to non-metro destinations.

Using SAF is starting to become a reality at Singapore Changi Airport thanks to a new deal between Neste and the Singapore Airlines Group.
