Tiger pounces on Mandala airlines

Tiger Airways today announced its acquisition of a 33% stake in Indonesia's PT Mandala Airlines. And as Mandala undergoes a financial restructuring process, it plans to adopt the Tiger Airways business model.

Mandala also plans to offer low fare travel to international and domestic destinations within a 5-hour flying radius from Indonesia. Like other airlines in the Tiger Airways Group, the restructured airline would also operate Airbus A320 aircraft. Flight and cabin crew will be based in Indonesia.

The largest shareholder in the restructured Mandala will be the Saratoga group, which will hold a 51.0% stake. The remaining 16.0% will be held by the previous shareholders and creditors of Mandala.

Tiger Airways will make further announcements as and when it enters into definitive agreements.

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.
