Tiger Aviation has reported a strong passenger growth
of 50.4% for the three months ending 31 December 2008 compared to the
year before.
In addition, the Tiger Airways group
airlines third quarter Financial Year 2008/09 highlights included
a 53.4% increase in seat capacity.
Tony Davis, President and CEO of Tiger
Aviation said "2008 proved to be a difficult trading year for
airlines across the globe as firstly high oil prices and more
latterly economic conditions rapidly deteriorated. Tiger Airways
is bucking the trend by delivering strong year on year growth of
more than 50% for the last quarter, as passengers seek out lower
fares across Asia and Australia."
During the last quarter Tiger Airways benefited
from increased liberalization in Asia with additional services
being added to the long protected Singapore - Kuala Lumpur route
as well as being granted traffic rights to both Kuching and Kota
Kinabalu.
"Aviation is an ever changing landscape,
but even with the challenging global market conditions we remain
confident about the long term. We continue to see strong demand
for our low fares and we are committed to continued growth as we
expand our operations in both Australia and Singapore." Davis
added.
