Tiger Australia’s paw performance

Tiger Airways is performing strong on home turf in Singapore while the effects of last year’s hiatus in Australia are showing poor performance.

Tiger Airlines Singapore experienced a six percent growth in passenger loads for June 2012 compared to previous year, carrying 365,000 passengers.

In total for the first six months of 2012, the low-cost airline has flown four million passengers which is an increase of 28 percent year-on-year.

For Tiger Australia, ramping up services was a focus and the commencement of operations from its second Australian base in Sydney saw the launch of Sydney - Gold Coast services on 1 July 2012.

The 12 months to June 2012 for Tiger Australia saw the airline fly 1.2 million passengers which was a decrease of over half of last year’s total for the same period.

The disruptions to services in mid 2011 and the subsequent under-utilisation of its fleet are contributing factors for the decrease.
