  • Houston is back, with the airport operating again...
    Houston flights to resume from 1 September
    Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) is planning a phased return to service following its closure due to the effects of Tropical Storm Harvey. As such, SQ52 on 1 September from Singapore to Houston via Manchester, as well as the return flight SQ51 on 1 September from Houston to Singapore via Manchester are now expected to operate on schedule.

    • Great to see Houston getting back on its feet, good for the route.

      • Was there an A350 on the ground at IAH during the storm?

          No, SMD got out of IAH on 25AUG without delay. SMF was terminated at MAN before heading to IAH on 26AUG. (Source fr24)

          • The MAN-SIN and MAN-IAH sectors continued to perform well in July. Average loads on these sectors was 179 (SIN-MAN) and 162 (MAN-IAH).

            Note, this does not include SIN-IAH traffic, which seems to be reasonably steady at around 70 passengers per day. If that pattern continues, the load factor for MAN-SIN would be nigh on 100% in the 253 seat A350.

            Obviously the recent hurricane is likely to influence the IAH traffic in the coming months, so one to keep an eye on.

            • SIN-MAN loads were at 175 per sector in August. MAN-IAH was 143 (accounting for the cancellations due to the hurricane at Houston).

              As ever, this does not include SIN-IAH traffic.

              • Looks like IAH traffic took a hit in September following the hurricanes. SQ have been able to sell more SIN-MAN tickets, but this has left space on the MAN-IAH sector.

                SQ on MAN-SIN looks extraordinarily high. 189 passengers per sector, 75% load factor excluding SIN-IAH traffic.

                MAN-IAH is about 112 passengers per sector, about a 44% load factor.

                Assuming SIN-MAN has 100% load factor including SIN-IAH traffic (unlikely, but probably not too far off the mark) you are looking at an additional 63 passengers per sector, roughly a 70% load factor MAN-IAH.

                In the circumstances, not a bad set of results but it seems the MAN-IAH traffic still holds the key to making this one work for SQ.

                • MAN-SIN vv is, as expected, doing well. IAH is struggling, save for the 2-3 month period during the summer when it was packed and regularly sold out. (leaves space for the Yield Police...). I don't suppose the hurricane has helped IAH much.

                  I came back on Sunday's SQ52 to MAN and while JCL was about 50/50 MAN/IAH I think only about 30-40 in YCL carried on to IAH.

                    SIN-IAH: 50 per sector.

                    SIN-MAN: 168 per sector, overall 86% load factor including SIN-IAH traffic.

                    MAN-IAH: 119 per sector, 67% load factor including SIN-IAH traffic.

                    Obviously IAH traffic has taken a hit following the hurricane, so the drop is not surprising. However, October is a relatively quiet time of year and one would hope/expect this to pick up over the coming months. Corroborates MANflyers comments above.

                    • We came home on last Sundays SQ52 to MAN and it was chock full in JCL between SIN and MAN. I didn't ask the crew about onward numbers to IAH but it seemed the majority in JCL got off in MAN.

                        That stacks up with the repeated pattern.

                        MAN-SIN seems to be doing well, the key to the routes viability/expansion in its current form is IAH traffic from SIN and MAN. From SIN, traffic seems to have dropped off since the hurricane. From MAN, traffic is seasonal (in volume) with bumper numbers in the summer but dropping off in winter.

                        The good news is that despite the hurricane, MAN-IAH traffic is trending up compared to last year and this bodes well.

                          SIN-IAH: 66 per sector. (UPDATED, 2 Feb 2018).

                          SIN-MAN: 143 per sector, not including SIN-IAH traffic.

                          MAN-IAH: 110 per sector, not including SIN-IAH traffic.

                          This is the 13th month of SQ51/52 via MAN; and the like for like yearly comparisons are trending (significantly) in the right direction when compared with November 2016.

                            SIN-IAH: 58 per sector.

                            SIN-MAN: 161 per sector, not including SIN-IAH traffic (+16% YoY).

                            MAN-IAH: 117 per sector, not including SIN-IAH traffic (+72% YoY).

                            This is the 14th month of SQ51/52 via MAN; and the like for like yearly comparisons continue to trend in the right direction. MAN-SIN seems to be doing well, and could likely stand on its own if required. The big one to watch is IAH, which ideally needs to be averaging close to 140 over the course of the year to make a case for an increase in frequency. Obviously, if this sector fails, the route as it currently stands would be up for debate.

                              SIN-IAH: TBC (usually varies from 55 - 70 per sector).

                              SIN-MAN: 161 per sector, not including SIN-IAH traffic (+16% YoY).

                              MAN-IAH: 117 per sector, not including SIN-IAH traffic (+72% YoY).

                              Given MAN is doing so well, maybe a solution is to try 3 days a week to another US city?

                                Whilst MAN is well placed to serve as a transit stop between SIN and a number of American cities, I think SQ is more likely to give the current set up as much opportunity to bed in and grow, before looking elsewhere.
