SINGAPORE: Singapore Airlines said that it filled 71.6 per cent of the space available on its planes for passengers and cargo in October, compared to 70.3 per cent in September.
This latest figure is also 4.8 percentage points higher than the load factor during the same period in 2008.
The carrier said there are encouraging signs that the decline in demand may have bottomed out, with increasing demand seen in the premium classes.
Passenger load factor jumped 3.6 percentage points on-year to 81.1 per cent in October.
SIA added that the airline will continue to make appropriate adjustments where necessary to better match capacity to forward demand.
