Singapore Airlines carried nearly 1.8 million passengers in April 2023, based on the carrier's results for the month. Even though it has taken over the operations of narrowbody Silk Air, traffic was about 20% lower than what the pair had in the same month in 2019. In April 2023, Singapore Airlines filled an average of 87.5% of its seats, nearly five percentage points higher than the duo had four years ago.
Singapore Airlines in June
This June, the Star Alliance member will be the fifth-largest airline serving Southeast Asia. Cirium shows that it has approximately 2.2 million roundtrip seats for sale (excluding lower-cost carrier Scoot), surpassed only by Lion Air, Vietnam Airlines, Vietjet, and AirAsia Malaysia.
Of course, these carriers revolve around their domestic markets, which Singapore Airlines does not have. When this is stripped out, Singapore Airlines itself is by far the leading international operator in the region.
Analysis of Cirium data shows that its international operation is more than three-quarters larger than number two, AirAsia Malaysia, and two and a half times bigger than the next full-frills carrier, Thai Airways.
While Singapore Airlines is near to recovering June 2019 capacity (-3.2%), it remains down significantly if SilkAir is added (-21%). Nonetheless, it is stronger than other many other players, including Thai Airways (-49%).
936 weekly departing flights in June
Singapore Airlines has filed 936 weekly departing passenger flights from its Changi hub this June (double for both ways). Again excluding Scoot, it will have 31% of flights from the Southeast Asia airport, the third-busiest in the region.
Using the A350-900, A380, 737-800, 737 MAX 8, 777-300ER, and 787-10, Singapore Airlines' June passenger network comprises 73 destinations. Compared to Singapore/Silk Air's network in June 2019, it has reduced from 97. However, some are now served by Scoot, while others return later this year.

The above five countries account for nearly half of its operation (48%). In contrast, with three weekly A350-900 flights to Vancouver, Canada is its least-served nation. The long 7,967-mile (12,821 km) route, launched during the pandemic, ends in September.
