TigerAir could clip wings of Tigerair Mandala due to losses

To prevent a third straight year of loss, says Reuters.

According to a report by Reuters, Singapore's Tiger Airways Holdings Ltd may be forced out of Indonesia, Southeast Asia's biggest domestic airline market, as its unprofitable joint venture is squeezed out of routes dominated by big-spending local carriers.

Tiger might sell or close Tigerair Mandala in the absence of any signs of the airline turning around this year, such as a significant reduction of losses, people familiar with the matter told Reuters.

Tiger has been streamlining its business to prevent a third straight year of loss, with its latest move being the January sale of Tigerair Philippines in a market where a sharp increase in available seats pushed down ticket 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.
