IN A sign of the bad times, Singapore Airlines on Thursday said it carried just 1.6 million people in December - a 7.5 per cent drop compared with a year ago.
Total loads also fell as the demand for air travel slipped faster than cuts in capacity.
On the passenger side, the airline filled just 79.9 per cent of all seats accross its network - a 4.4 percentage point drop over a year earlier.
Overall load factor, with cargo included, was even lower at 65.8 per cent.
