Tigerair's passenger traffic slipped 7% in February

It carried 374,000 passengers last month.

Tiger Airways reported lower operating statistics for February, with the number of passengers carried slipping 7% year-on-year to 374,000 passengers.

Traffic slipped 3.2% year-on-year to 718 million revenue passenger-kilometres, while capacity decreased by 8.5% to 910 million available seat-kilometres. Consequently, y-o-y passenger load factor increased by 4.3 percentage points to 78.9%

According to OCBC, this is the eighth consecutive month that Tigerair showed YoY improvement in its PLF, indicating consistent efforts put in to manage capacity.

“However, we still think there are much more to be done for Tigerair’s turnaround through the alliance with Scoot. The uncertainty over air travel demand from the expected slowdown in global economy also gives us a good reason to remain cautious on near-term outlook,” stated OCBC.

We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
