Tiger selects Sydney as second base in Australia

Tiger Australia will begin operations in Sydney starting from early Jul 2012.

Tiger Airways (TGR) this morning announced that its Australian operations have selected Sydney to be its second base in Australia. Tiger Australia is currently utilising seven aircraft out of Melbourne and has three aircraft in coldstorage.

“With the expected lifting of flying restrictions in Australia later this year, the second base in Sydney should help Tiger Australia to ramp up its utilisation of aircraft,” said Eric Teo of OCBC Investment Research.

Mr Teo cautioned though that the aviation sector is currently facing strong headwinds due to high jet fuel prices and uncertain global economy.

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.
