According to the group, both its flagship airline Singapore Airlines and Scoot reported a significant increase in passenger demand as travel restrictions eased in almost all key markets. The Singapore government’s increased vaccinated travel lane (VTL) quota for daily arrivals also helped with the growth in passenger demand.
