Tiger Airways to double flights to Jakarta

Scarce rights reallocated from other airlines to Tiger to drive competition further with low fares.

Tiger Airways has earned double the stripes on its popular Jakarta-Singapore route. Having flown daily and delivering a strong 85% network load factor for the last financial year, Tiger has earned the rights to fly twice daily starting from late 2010.

In the recent distribution of limited traffic rights by Singapore’s Air Traffic Rights Committee (ATRC), Tiger won the additional rights from other airlines, while retaining its own, according to a Tiger Airways announcement.

Rosalynn Tay, Managing Director of Tiger Airways Singapore, said “We are pleased to be awarded additional rights to the popular Jakarta-Singapore route. We look forward to serving more passengers between the neighbouring Asean cities with our low, low fares. With twice the number of flights and choice of timings, we will be even better armed to lead the low-fare revolution to the benefit of consumers.”

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.
