July 27 (Reuters) - Singapore Airlines (SIAL.SI) said on Thursday it expects competition to intensify in the coming months as carriers scramble to take advantage of strong overseas travel demand that helped the city-state's flagship airline to post a record first-quarter profit. "Macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties, as well as inflation, could pose challenges for the airline industry," the company said. Singapore Airlines said it will monitor these trends closely, and adjust its capacity and network accordingly.

Passenger load factor — a measure of how many seats are filled on planes — for Singapore Airlines was 88.9% in the quarter, compared with 79.0% a year ago.
