Tiger Airways speeds up delivery of new planes

Tiger Airways has announced that the delivery of its five new planes will be accelerated to early 2011 instead of 2016 as before.

These five aircraft are part of the total 66 aircraft fleet Tiger Airways has ordered with Airbus and were originally scheduled to be delivered in 2016.

Tiger Airways President and Chief Executive Officer, Tony Davis said that Tiger Airlines was speeding up the delivery to grow their business in both Asia and Australia.

Tiger Airways had also announced last week the first European ECA-backed aircraft financing arrangement with Standard Chartered Bank to purchase two A320-200 aircraft.

Standard Chartered Bank helped to complete the financing arrangement for Tiger Airways for the advanced delivery of five Airbus 320-200 aircraft into 2010/11.

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.
