Gaining wind: TigerAir seats more passengers this quarter

But a recovery story is not yet in sight.

Tiger Airways’ operations improved on the back of peak travel period and active capacity management - passenger load factor (PLF) gradually increased 7 percentage points from 79.2% in March to 86.3% in June.

According to report by OCBC, improved PLF year-on-year can be sustained for TigerAir Singapore in the coming fiscal year.

OCBC cautions that the improvement will only help TR’s performance to bottom out but still insufficient for a turnaround. Though fleet expansion is moderated, SE Asia’s LCC fleet is still projected to grow by a high 17% in 2014.

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.
