Tiger Airways Reports February 2011 Traffic

From March 2010 to February 2011, a total of 5.9 million passengers chose to fly with Tiger Airways, an increase of 26% over the 4.7 million passengers in the preceding 12 months.

Average load factor for the 12-month period to February 2011 increased to 86%, an increase of 1 percentage point year-on-year.

For the month of February 2011, Tiger Airways carried 484,000 passengers, an 11% increase compared to the same month last year. The average load factor across Asia and Australia for the month was 83%.

Tony Davis, President and Group CEO of Tiger Airways Holdings, said, “We recorded a solid 11% increase in passengers in the month of February despite short term capacity reductions in our Australian domestic network due to temporary weakness caused by recent natural weather events. Capacity has been progressively restored and will be fully restored by the start of April 2011.”

During February, Tiger Airways commenced new services between Sydney and Brisbane, which is Australia’s second busiest domestic route. Services will also be launched between Sydney and Sunshine Coast later this month.
