Singapore Airlines Group and Changi Airport passenger traffic could remain at 1 per cent of normal levels for at least several more months, says Brendan Sobie.SINGAPORE: The second half 2020 outlook for Singapore Airlines (SIA) and Singapore’s aviation sector has gone from bad to worse over the last few months due to a slower than initially expected resumption of international air travel.Passenger traffic is likely to remain at around 1 per cent of normal levels until travel bubbles are established that go beyond essential business traffic and do not have onerous restrictions, including quarantine requirements, which inhibit demand.Travel bubbles or green lanes would facilitate a partial recovery but so far only two have been established and neither will drive significant passenger traffic.The “fast lane” between Singapore and China was implemented in early June but has generated very little traffic given numerous restrictions and limitations.There are currently only 11 weekly flights from Singapore to mainland China, including four by the SIA Group and seven from Chinese carriers.The frequency of flights is insufficient to support two-way business travel, which the fast lane was set up for, and almost all the passengers on the limited flights now consist of students or workers heading home or back to school and work.The Reciprocal Green Lane (RGL) with Malaysia that is being implemented later this month is limited to only 400 business travelers per week.There is a separate Periodic Commuting Arrangement (PCA) with a much larger quota of 2,000 travelers per day but this is limited to commuters – Malaysians working in Singapore or Singaporeans working in Malaysia – using the two land borders to return home for visits a maximum of once every three months.For the RGL, travelers can fly or use the land borders with applications being accepted by both countries from Aug 10, but the tiny quota will result in very limited demand for flights.There are currently 17 weekly flights from Singapore to Malaysia: 11 by the SIA Group – eight to Kuala Lumpur and one each to Ipoh, Penang and Kuching – four by Malaysia Airlines to Kuala Lumpur and two by Jetstar Asia to Kuala Lumpur.AirAsia has announced the resumption of flights to Singapore from Aug 17 with an initial schedule of 11 weekly flights, including seven from Kuala Lumpur and one each from Ipoh, Kuching, Kota Kinabalu and Penang.Malaysia’s Malindo also has announced the resumption of flights to Singapore from Aug 18 with one daily flight from Kuala Lumpur.However, the combined 35 weekly Singapore-Malaysia flights, now scheduled from mid-August, will have very light loads given the RGL will generate at most 800 passengers per week.Malaysia and Singapore will need to expand the RGL quota or open up PCA to include air travel for 35 weekly flights to be supported.Airlines are hoping the PCA will permit flights in the future given that a large portion of Malaysians working in Singapore are not from Johor.However, it could be several months before the PCA is expanded and onerous restrictions, including multiple PCR tests and stay home notices, could also impact demand.Other green lanes are under consideration but, if implemented, are also likely to have a minimal impact on air traffic given the limitations and restrictions.Second waves in several countries are also impacting the possible timing of establishing more green lanes.The prospects of green lane or travel bubbles that generate significant passenger traffic are grim for at least the remainder of 2020, resulting in a gloomy outlook for Changi Airport and the SIA Group.The outlook for 2021 is also now bleak as international travel may not start to recover in earnest until there is a vaccination.Restarting leisure travel, which would result in more significant passenger traffic than essential business travel schemes, is potentially feasible during the pandemic by establishing protocols and programs.For example, travel could be restricted to select destinations where the virus has been contained with passengers transported straight from the airport to specific resorts and not being permitted to leave the resort.
