Here's what Tiger Airways is boasting about

Tiger Singapore's passenger carriage finally edged up 16%.

In a release, traffic (measured in revenue passenger-kilometres) grew in tandem with capacity at 7% y-o-y. As a result, passenger load factor remained unchanged at 79%. Tiger Singapore began operations to Hyderabad during the month.

For the 12 months to September 2012, Tiger Singapore carried 4.0 million passengers, an increase of 16% y-o-y. Load factor for the 12 months to September 2012 was down 3 percentage points (ppt) to 81% as a result of the high capacity increase in the second half of FY11-12.

In September 2012, Tiger Australia carried 227,000 passengers. Passenger volume was higher compared to 69,000 passengers carried in the same period last year, but the airline was operating at a significantly reduced capacity and on a limited schedule in September 2011.

It has surpassed the pre-suspension level of 212,000 passengers carried in June 2011. Passenger load factor of 84% was 14 ppt higher y-o-y.

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.
