“Our August passenger figures have undoubtedly been impacted by the interruption to Tiger’s domestic operations and the process of rebuilding their domestic services,” Melbourne Airport CEO Chris Woodruff said of the disappointing domestic results.
“Our international growth continues to be driven by Asia. Passport holders from Indonesia, the Philippines and China all grew by more than 30 per cent.”
