How did Tiger rack up $74 million of losses in Australia?

It is a stunning figure only revealed yesterday, and brings in to question the strategy and even viability of its operations downunder.

The airline lost $6.8 million in 2011 and has lost every year since starting in 2007. There is plenty of blame to go around, from higher operating costs to a more competitive environment.

And it hasn’t been easy down under. The airline was recently rapped over the knucks by the Aussie regulator and given a notice to show cause why it should be allowed to continue to fly.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
