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.
