Tiger Airways Holdings says it saw continued strong growth across both its Singapore and Australia operations in February 2010.

A total of 437,000 passengers flew with Tiger Airways in February 2010, a 90% increase over February 2009. Passenger numbers benefited from the addition of double daily services between Hong Kong and Singapore and strong demand during the Lunar New Year period, the Chinese “Year of the Tiger”.

The average network-wide load factor also increased, with 85% of all available seats being sold, an increase of 6 percentage points over February 2009’s load factor of 79%.

For the rolling twelve months to February 2010, total passenger numbers grew to 4.7 million, an increase of 51% over the preceding twelve months.
