Tiger Airways passenger volume up 90% in February 2010

Compared with February 2009, passenger volume almost doubled as Tiger served a total of 437,000 passengers in the previous month.

Said growth is attributed to the addition of double daily services between Hong Kong and Singapore and strong demand during the Lunar New Year period.

Total passenger numbers rose to 4.7 million, for the period of twelve months up to February 2010, or a 51 percent growth compared to the previous cycle.

Tiger Airways President and Group CEO Tony Davis said, "We are delighted to report that our strong growth momentum has continued in February with the commencement of the 'Year of the Tiger' and that our low cost, low fare model is attracting significantly higher numbers of passengers from across the region."

Davis added they are further growing Tiger's network with the addition of services to Brisbane from Melbourne, Adelaide and Rockhampton starting this month.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
