This is why Tiger Airways boasts of its passenger carriage

Tiger Singapore carried 11% more passengers this month.

In a release, Tiger Singapore carried 353,000 passengers in August 2012, up 11% year-on-year (y-o-y). Traffic (measured in revenue passenger-kilometres) grew by 19% outpacing capacity (measured in available seat-kilometres) growth of 12%.

This led to a 5 percentage point (ppt) y-o-y increase in passenger load factor to 83%. For the 12 months to August 2012, Tiger Singapore carried 4.0 million passengers, an increase of 20% y-o-y. Load factor for the 12 months to August 2012 was down 4 ppt to 81%, mostly due to high capacity increase in the prior financial year.

Tiger Australia carried 203,000 passengers in August 2012, which was almost back to the pre-suspension level in June 2011. Passenger load factor was 87% in August 2012. This was 3 ppt above that in July 2012.

Tiger Australia took delivery of its 11th new A320 aircraft in August 2012 and a new service, Sydney-Brisbane, was launched. More flights will be progressively introduced which will bring the number of services back to the pre-suspension levels by October 2012.

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.
