Tiger Singapore takes off with 24% growth in passenger carriage

Its Aussie wing was impressive as well.

According to a release, Tiger Singapore recorded 652 million revenue passenger‐kilometres (RPK) for the month of February 2013, representing a year‐on‐year increase of 32%.

This was mainly attributable to higher bookings during the Lunar New Year period. As the increase in traffic outpaced the 27% increase in capacity to 782 million available seat‐kilometres (ASK), passenger load factor improved 3 percentage points to 83%, from 80% a year ago.

The number of passengers carried grew 24% to 354,000 from 286,000 in February 2012.

For the 12 months to February 2013, Tiger Singapore recorded a 19% increase in traffic to 7.8 billion RPK, more than keeping pace with a 14% increase in capacity to 9.3 billion ASK.

Consequently, passenger load factor was three percentage points higher at 84%. The number of passengers carried grew 12% to 4.3 million, compared to 3.9 million in the previous period.

Tiger Australia recorded an 82% increase in traffic to 209 million RPK for the month of February 2013. Capacity increased 75% to 248 million ASK, from 142 million ASK a year ago.

As a result, passenger load factor improved 3 percentage points to 84%. In February 2013, Tiger Australia carried 198,000 passengers, representing an increase of 102% over the previous period.

The airline was operating at a significantly reduced capacity and on a limited schedule a year ago.

For the 12 months to February 2013, Tiger Australia recorded a 38% increase in traffic to 2.7 billion RPK, following a 40% increase in capacity to 3.3 billion ASK.

Passenger load factor was 82%, down one percentage point from the previous corresponding period. The number of passengers carried grew 37% to 2.3 million, compared to 1.7 million carried in the previous period.

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.
