Tiger Airways again advances delivery of new aircraft

Tiger pounces on opportunity to advance delivery of 2 more aircraft in this financial year.

Tiger Airways has advanced the delivery of a further two new Airbus A320 aircraft from the next financial year to the current financial year ending 31 March 2011, according to a Tiger Airways report.

Tony Davis, President and Group CEO of Tiger Airways Holding Limited, said, "As additional delivery positions have become available, presumably as other airlines have postponed some of their aircraft deliveries, we have seized the opportunity to advance delivery of two new aircraft into our fleet. With a newer, younger fleet, we will realise greater operational and cost efficiencies, further reducing our operating costs and enabling us to continue offering the lowest fares possible."

The total number of aircraft being delivered in this financial year will now increase to 9, resulting in an increase in total fleet of at least 37% by March 2011.

The airline expects to return two existing aircraft when their lease expires in the 4th Quarter of this financial year.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
