Note: The operating statistics for full-service carrier reflects the integration of SilkAir into Singapore Airlines. Prior year comparatives have been adjusted on the same basis
- Cargo capacity for passenger aircraft is based on the payload that is typically set aside for cargo carriage. However, when a passenger aircraft operates with low passenger loads or on a pure cargo mission, the cargo carried could be in excess of such capacity.

OCTOBER 2021 OPERATING RESULTS
In October 2021, the Singapore Airlines (SIA) Group expanded its Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) network to include Denmark, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States of America, in addition to Brunei and Germany. This enabled a meaningful resumption of travel between Singapore and these countries, and consequently led to an increase in passenger carriage on these routes.
During the month, the SIA Group's passenger capacity (measured in available seat- kilometres) grew 6.0% month-on-month, reaching 34% of pre-Covid-19 levels. Passenger traffic (revenue passenger-kilometres) grew 13.9% compared to the previous month.
Group passenger load factor (PLF) for October 2021 increased 4.1 percentage points year- on-year to 19.9%. On a month-on-month basis, the PLF improved by 1.4 percentage points contributed by stronger demand to Europe and the Americas due to the VTLs.
Cargo operations registered a monthly cargo load factor (CLF) of 87.2%, up 1.7 percentage points year-on-year as loads (freight tonne-kilometres) rose by 58.1% on the back of a 55.0% capacity (capacity tonne-kilometres) expansion. The East Asia and Americas route regions recorded year-on-year increases in CLF during the month.
At the end of October 2021, the SIA Group's passenger network covered 66 destinations including Singapore. The Singapore Airlines full-service network served 521 destinations, while Scoot, SIA's low-cost carrier subsidiary, served 261 destinations as at end of October. During the month, Scoot re-launched flights to Phuket and resumed operations to the West Asia with the commencement of services to Jeddah.
NETWORK UPDATE
Scoot will launch a new long-haul route to London's Gatwick Airport (via Bangkok), with three-time weekly services commencing in March 2022, subject to regulatory approval. To cater to the year-end peak, Scoot will also operate some seasonal flights to Gatwick from 16 to 28 December 2021. London will be Scoot's third destination in Europe, after Athens in Greece and Berlin in Germany.
On the VTL front, the Group's VTL network will also include Australia, South Korea and Switzerland by November 2021. Canada will be added to the network when the seasonal Singapore-Seattle-Vancouver services commence from 2 December 2021. In addition, the Group is finalising flight schedules between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. With these inclusions, the SIA Group's VTL network will consist of 21 cities from 14 countries.
