Tiger Airways to receive S$4.7mln from Swissport

Resulting from a breach of contract claim against Swissport Singapore Pte Ltd, Tiger Airways Singapore has been awarded S$4.7 million in damages.

The above figure is the full amount claimed by the airline for damages incurred as a result of Swissport's premature termination of its ground handling agreement with Tiger Airways.

According to the airline, Swissport had in January 2009 given Tiger Airways notice that it was unilaterally terminating its ground handling service agreement with effect from 1 April 2009, about two years earlier than the stated expiration date of the agreement. As grounds for this early termination, Swissport had sought to rely on the voluntary termination of its licence to operate at Changi Airport granted by CAAS.

Tiger Airways then commenced legal action against Swissport for breach of contract, with the High Court of Singapore eventually ruling in favour of Tiger Airways. A subsequent action by Swissport for leave to appeal the High Court's decision was dismissed by the Singapore Court of Appeal.

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.
