Tiger Airways to save around S$5m as jet fuel prices finally fall

Fuel prices finally softened after being 'stubbornly high' for more than a year.

According to OCBC, the SGD-adjusted jet fuel price  is currently trading at 10% below the average of jet fuel prices in the current quarter, which is in turn 7% QoQ lower than in 4QFY12.

Here's more from OCBC:

After remaining stubbornly high for more than a year, jet fuel prices have finally soften significantly. Tiger Airways (TGR) is likely to benefit from the current respite in jet fuel prices, especially with fuel cost contributing to more than 40% of its operating costs. Based on our estimation, TGR should be able to achieve ~S$5m of savings in fuel cost in 1QFY13, given the 7% QoQ fall in average jet fuel prices.

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.
