Tiger Airways' Philippine operations put in question

A letter of complaint was filed against the airline before the Civil Aeronautics Board of the Philippines.

In a disclosure made to the Singapore Exchange, the LCC said the complaint suggested that the suspension of the operations of Tiger Airways Australia Pty. Ltd. (TT) in July 2011 by the Australian regulator, the Civil Aviation Safety Authority, raises similar questions about the airline's operations to the Philippines.

Tiger Airways Singapore (TR), which markets budget flights in the country, however clarified that it is a company separate from TT..

TR  has responded to the CAB with a detailed answer and a motion to dismiss the complaint.

“The company is of the opinion that the above complaint is without merit. TR and TT hold separate Air Operator's Certificates and are operated as two separate subsidiary companies,” the airline said.

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.
