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.

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.
