Tiger Airways passengers up 11% in February 2011

484,000 passengers were carried by Tiger Airways for the month of February 2011.

According to Tiger Airways, 5.9 million passengers chose to fly with Tiger Airways in Asia and Australia from March 2010 to February 2011. This is a 26% increase over the previous 12 months. Load factor from march 2010 to February 2011 averaged 86%, compared to 85% in the previous 12 months.

The average load factor across Asia and Australia for the month was 83%.

Tony Davis, President and Group CEO of Tiger Airways Holdings, said, “We recorded a solid 11% increase in passengers in the month of February despite short term capacity reductions in our Australian domestic network due to temporary weakness caused by recent natural weather events. Capacity has been progressively restored and will be fully restored by the start of April 2011.

During February, Tiger Airways commenced new services between Sydney and Brisbane, which is Australia’s second busiest domestic route. Services will also be launched between Sydney and Sunshine Coast later this month.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
