Caged growth for Tiger Airways?

Trouble from down under caused a 20% drop in Tiger Airways' passenger numbers.

According to the research from Maybank Kim Eng, Tiger Airways reported March operating statistics that were disappointing, showing an almost 20% dip in passenger numbers y-o-y.

Statistics were affected by Australian operations being kept at a reduced capacity. Tiger Airways expects to ramp up to 64 daily sectors only in the 2nd half of 2012.

With Tiger’s JVs with SEAir and Mandala still in its infancy, and headwinds of higher fuel prices continuing to erode margins, the road to recovery looks long indeed.

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.
