Tiger Singapore increased November traffic by a terrific 33% yoy

Tiger Australia even more impressive with 110% traffic spike.

In its operating statistics report released to the Singapore Exchange, Singapore Airlines' budget carrier Tiger Airways revealed that Tiger Singapore recorded a 33% increase in traffic to 721 million revenue passenger-kilometres (RPK) for the month of November 2012. This comes on the back of a 17% increase in capacity to 852 million available seat-kilometres (ASK).

Consequently, y-o-y passenger load factor was 10 percentage points higher at 85%. The number of passengers carried grew 30% year-on-year (y-o-y) to 389,000 passengers.

For the 12 months to November 2012, Tiger Singapore recorded a 21% increase in traffic to 7.4 billion RPK, following a 20% increase in capacity to 9.0 billion ASK. Consequently, passenger load factor was 83%, up one percentage point from the previous corresponding period. The number of passengers carried grew 13% y-o-y to 4.1 million passengers.

Meanwhile, Tiger Australia recorded a 110% increase in traffic to 256 million RPK for the month of November 2012. Capacity increased 113% to 296 million ASK for the month. The airline carried 239,000 passengers in November 2012, representing an increase of 132% y-o-y. However, the airline was operating at a significantly reduced capacity and on a limited schedule in November 2011. Passenger load factor, at 86%, reflected a y-o-y decline of two percentage points.

For the 12 months to November 2012, Tiger Australia recorded a 3% decline in traffic to 2.3 billion RPK, following a 1% decline in capacity to 2.9 billion ASK. Consequently, passenger load factor was 82%, down two percentage points from the earlier period. The number of passengers carried was down 10% y-o-y to 1.9 million passengers.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
