Aeroflot (SU) July 2025 Operational Report
Flight Activity Overview Total arriving flights: 27,677Year-over-year change: -10.57% Aeroflot handled a substantial summer schedule in July 2025, with arriving flights declining year over year as the carrier concentrated capacity on profitable domestic and regional flows. Demand on leisure corridors remained resilient, but longer routings on certain international sectors and targeted frequency trims reduced total arrivals. This recalibration reflects a focus on yield control and schedule robustness during a period of volatile airspace conditions across parts of Europe and Eurasia. On‑Time Performance and Cancellations On‑time arrival rate: 72.54%Year-over-year change (on‑time rate): -18.08%Cancelled flights: 516Year-over-year change (cancellations): 135.62% Punctuality decreased to 72.54% year over year, while cancellations rose to 516 amid convective weather in European Russia, tighter air traffic flow management windows, and longer turnarounds caused by rerouting. Internally, maintenance planning has had to account for extended utilization and supply‑chain constraints on parts, which can ripple into recovery times when irregular operations occur. In response, Aeroflot has added ground‑time buffers at Moscow Sheremetyevo, pre‑positioned reserve crews and aircraft, and refined day‑of‑operations decision support to stabilize the afternoon and evening waves. Key Hubs Moscow Sheremetyevo serves as the primary hub, organizing connections in timed waves that feed domestic trunk routes and selective international services to the Middle East, Central Asia, and Türkiye. Domestic markets such as St. Petersburg, Sochi, and Novosibirsk anchored July traffic, while leisure flows to resort destinations remained active. The hub structure emphasizes minimum connection times and coordinated ground handling to protect onward connectivity. Outlook For travelers, Aeroflot offers broad domestic reach and reliable connectivity through Moscow Sheremetyevo, though late‑day peaks may see weather‑related knock‑on delays. Customers with tight connections should consider earlier departures or longer layovers during storm‑prone periods. Looking ahead, the airline plans to preserve schedule integrity with added buffers, selective frequency additions on resilient routes, and continued investment in maintenance availability, aiming to stabilize on‑time performance and moderate cancellations into the autumn.

Singapore Airlines (SQ) July 2025 Operational Report
Flight Activity Overview Total arriving flights: 10,002Year-over-year change: +0.07% Singapore Airlines handled steady arriving activity in July as network capacity remained disciplined and demand across Southeast Asia, Australia, and North Asia stayed resilient. The slight year-over-year uptick reflects stable long‑haul connectivity through Singapore and continued recovery in premium and visiting‑friends‑and‑relatives traffic. A balanced schedule kept utilization high without overextending peak‑summer resources, supporting yield management and reliable connections at the hub. On-Time Performance and Cancellations On-time arrival rate: +93.60%Year-over-year change (on-time rate): +0.10%Cancelled flights: 125Year-over-year change (cancellations): +104.92% Punctuality was exceptionally strong, supported by robust ground processes at Singapore Changi and careful block‑time planning on congested corridors. The spike in cancellations was concentrated around weather‑related thunderstorms in parts of Southeast Asia and temporary air‑traffic‑control flow restrictions, rather than systemic schedule issues. In response, the airline prioritized aircraft swaps, reserve crews, and pre‑emptive re‑timing on select routes to protect connections and reduce knock‑on delays. Key Hubs Singapore Changi (SIN) functions as the central hub, stitching together Southeast Asia short‑haul markets with long‑haul services to Australia, Europe, and North Asia. Timed connection waves in the morning and late evening allow itineraries with competitive elapsed times, especially on Europe–Australia flows. Feeder traffic from regional cities supports year‑round load factors while premium demand anchors long‑haul frequencies. Outlook For travelers, Singapore Airlines offers very high operational reliability with punctuality near the mid‑nineties; it is a strong choice for itineraries requiring smooth connections through Singapore. Allow a sensible buffer during late‑afternoon thunderstorm windows and peak‑holiday Fridays, and consider earlier departures if a long‑haul connection is critical. Looking ahead, expect the airline to preserve its punctuality focus, fine‑tune schedules on weather‑sensitive routes, and add capacity selectively where demand remains durable.
