SINGAPORE, 1 August 2025: Scoot, the low-cost subsidiary of Singapore Airlines, tracks an upward trend in solo travel in the Singapore outbound travel market through its latest survey conducted by YouGov.

Based on 5,000 respondents across five countries in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, the Unpacking the Solo Travel Trend survey offers a window into the mindset of today’s self-directed explorer.

Once seen as a niche pursuit, solo travel among travellers from Singapore has increasingly become a common lifestyle choice, particularly for younger travellers.

Almost eight in 10 (79%) of the respondents from Singapore took multiple solo trips in the past year, and half among these travellers (49%) embarked on three or more solo trips in the past year. Millennials are at the forefront of this shift, making up 51% — and the largest cohort — of current and aspiring solo travellers, compared to 40% across APAC.

Solo vacations are highly recommended across the region by those who have embarked on such trips. In Singapore, 85% of respondents would recommend solo travel to others.

55% of solo travellers from Singapore cite freedom and flexibility to plan their itineraries as their primary motivation, while 52% view solo travel as an opportunity to take a break and focus on themselves.

Notably, 46% of the respondents value the independence of exploring new places at their own pace.

Across APAC, most respondents from Singapore cited solo travel as a catalyst for personal growth and self-discovery (45%, compared to the regional average of 40%).

Scoot’s findings dovetail with the increased focus on mindfulness, health and wellness in recent years.

The white paper highlights how travel, especially solo travel, has evolved from simply being a leisure activity to one that travellers increasingly seek for reflection and self-discovery.

“While the findings do not represent the end to group and family travel, the way we travel expresses our individuality and allows for self-discovery. Scoot’s white paper sheds light on the behaviour, motivations, preferences and expectations of an emerging segment of travellers today,” said Scoot Director of Marketing Communications & Loyalty, Agatha Yap.

Key priorities for solo travellers

Results revealed that solo travellers are highly intentional in their approach. An overwhelming majority (98%) shared that they engage in some form of planning for their trips. Aside from flight bookings, the main priorities for more than half of these travellers include accommodation selection (57%), safety considerations (51%),

and budget management (42%). They rely heavily on online review platforms, hotel websites and online travel agencies to help them make informed decisions about their flight and accommodation bookings.

The white paper also reveals a strong preference for APAC destinations among respondents from Singapore, with nine in 10 planning trips within the region in the next 12 months. Japan (25%), China (22%), and Malaysia (22%) are the top three travel destinations in the year ahead.

Popular types of solo trips

City breaks (short getaways to towns or cities) (39%).
Shopping holidays (39%).
Cultural and historical experiences (35%).
Nature holidays (34%).
Reconnecting with loved ones (32%).

LH presents positive outlook in HY2025 results

August 1, 2025

SINGAPORE, 1 August 2025: Lufthansa Group remains on course during its Q2 2025 to deliver a positive outlook for the whole year despite geopolitical crises and economic uncertainties, Deutsche Lufthansa AG Executive Board Chairman and CEO Carsten Spohr reports on Thursday.

“However, 2025 will remain a year of transformation for us, as delays in aircraft deliveries, certifications, and engine overhauls continue. The disproportionate burden on European airlines due to unilateral EU regulations also continues to put us at a disadvantage in global competition.

“In this challenging environment, we were able to increase our operating result by almost a third in the second quarter and double the Lufthansa Group result. The basis for this economic success is and remains the regained operational stability of our airlines.”

In the second quarter of 2025, the Lufthansa Group increased its revenue by 3% year-on-year to EUR10.3 billion (previous year: EUR10 billion. The Lufthansa Group generated an operating profit (Adjusted EBIT) of EUR871 million (prior year: EUR686 million).

The improvement in earnings was mainly due to the 4% expansion of the flight programme in the passenger business, a positive result from the investment in ITA Airways of EUR91 million, partly due to currency effects, and the doubling of the operating result of the logistics business segment compared to the previous year.

As a result, the operating margin increased by 1.5 percentage points year-on-year in the second quarter. The Group net result was EUR1.01 billion, more than double the previous year’s figure (EUR469 million).

Passenger traffic development

During HY 2025, more than 61 million passengers flew with the airlines of the Lufthansa Group, an increase of 2% compared with 2024. In the second quarter alone, the airlines welcomed around 37 million passengers (previous year: 35.9 million) on board. Despite a 4% increase in seat capacity, the load factor remained stable compared with last year at 82%.

The passenger airlines’ revenue per available seat kilometre (RASK) declined slightly by 0.9% in the second quarter compared with 2024 after adjusting for currency effects. This was primarily due to lower average prices in the European business as a result of intensifying competition.

In contrast, average revenues from intercontinental traffic remained stable despite a market-wide expansion of capacity. Unit costs (CASK) excluding fuel and emissions expenses rose by 4.1% compared with the same quarter last year due to ongoing cost inflation, driven in particular by personnel and location costs.

Overall, revenue from passenger airlines rose by 3% to 8.2 billion euros in the second quarter (previous year: EUR8.0 billion). Adjusted EBIT increased to EUR690 million (prior year: EUR581 million). All airlines generated a positive result in the second quarter.

Revenue for the passenger airlines totalled EUR14.1 billion, representing growth of around 4% compared with the previous year. Adjusted EBIT improved to -EUR244 million (first half of 2024: -EUR337 million). The positive development is mainly attributable to lower fuel costs, higher income from investments, and the absence of financial strike-related expenses in the previous year. In contrast to the first half of 2024, network stability also improved significantly, resulting in a 106 million euros reduction in financial expenses due to flight irregularities.

The integration of ITA Airways, in which the Lufthansa Group holds a 41% percent stake in the first phase, is continuing to progress. The benefits for customers are already clearly noticeable. Since the beginning of July, the airlines of the Lufthansa Group and ITA Airways have harmonised the benefits for their respective status customers, such as mutual lounge access, priority boarding, and conditions for additional baggage.

Also, since July, flights from Lufthansa, SWISS, Austrian Airlines, and Brussels Airlines can be combined with long-haul flights from ITA Airways in a single booking. This has been possible for short- and medium-haul flights since March.

Starting in September, ITA Airways guests will be able to store their travel profile electronically in the Lufthansa Group Travel ID and benefit from the associated digital customer services of the Lufthansa Group.

Outlook

Global demand for air travel remains strong. However, geopolitical crises and macroeconomic uncertainties, notably commodity price and exchange rate volatility, are affecting the accuracy of forecasts for the rest of the year. In addition, the tendency of many travellers to book at shorter notice is limiting visibility for the second half of the year.

Despite ongoing global uncertainties, the Lufthansa Group is reaffirming its forecast for the whole year and expects operating profit (Adjusted EBIT) to be significantly higher than last year (previous year: EUR1.6 billion) with capacity growth of around 4%.

Ponant trashes plastic on its ships

SINGAPORE, 31 July 2025: While the cruise industry continues to move toward reducing reliance on single-use plastics, Ponant Explorations’ Green Globe Certified fleet is taking measurable action through its ambitious ‘Zero Plastic’ initiative and broader sustainability commitments.

As of April 2025, the entire fleet, including MS Paul Gauguin, is equipped with Nordaq filtration systems, a self-serve water fountain that enables water to be bottled on board in recyclable glass containers for use in both staterooms and restaurants, effectively eliminating the need for the use of plastic water bottles.

Such efforts have led to the avoidance of more than 820,000 plastic water bottles, representing 20 tonnes of plastic waste compared to 2019 usage. On ships equipped with Nordaq systems, this has translated to a more than 90% reduction in single-use plastic, with remaining usage due to transition periods and rare operational exceptions in remote regions.

Extending beyond water, the Zero Plastic initiative has seen all plastic straws, cups, laundry bags, and single-serve food packaging phased out, resulting in the weight of single-use plastic decreasing from 0.63 kg per guest per operation in 2020 to just 0.006 kg in 2024. Each guest is provided with a reusable water bottle to support both convenience and environmental awareness during their journey, which they can then take home as a souvenir.

Ponant Explorations is also a proud signatory of the Global Tourism Plastics Initiative since 2021, led by the UNWTO, reflecting its long-term commitment to sustainable tourism and the transition to circular plastic economies.

“As the travel industry evolves, initiatives like these are setting a new benchmark for responsible cruising,” Ponant CEO Asia Pacific Deb Corbett said.

“This approach alone saves nearly one million plastic bottles each year, which is the equivalent of more than 20 tonnes of plastic. Ponant Explorations proves that it’s possible to choose a more sustainable way to see the world without compromising on the comfort or experience of luxury on each voyage,” she concluded.

KUALA LUMPUR, 31 July 2025: Following robust load factors and sustained demand on its Kuala Lumpur – Trivandrum route, Malaysia Airlines will further strengthen its connectivity with South India by increasing frequencies to the city.

Beginning 12 September 2025, the airline will introduce a fifth weekly service, with daily operations scheduled to commence from 1 December 2025. Tickets for the additional flight are open for bookings through all Malaysia Airlines’ official channels and appointed travel partners.

The increase in frequency marks a significant step forward, reflecting the route’s impressive growth since its launch in November 2023, which began with twice-weekly flights before increasing to four times weekly in April 2024. Operating through its central hub in Kuala Lumpur, the airline continues to strengthen its role as the gateway to Asia and beyond.

Malaysia Airlines currently operates 77 weekly flights across ten key cities in India, including Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kochi, Ahmedabad, Amritsar, and Trivandrum. With the new additions, this number will increase to 80 weekly flights by December 2025.

International travellers flying through Malaysia can also take advantage of Malaysia Airlines’ Bonus Side Trip (BST) programme, which offers a domestic flight to one of seven domestic destinations within Malaysia with zero base fare. This value-added offering allows international travellers to explore more of Malaysia’s unique culture, nature, and heritage—all within a single itinerary.
