Wider operating loss clipped Tigerair's wings in 1Q

It also posted $51m exceptional losses.

According to DBS Tigerair Singapore recorded an operating loss of S$29.4m in 4QFY14, compared to an operating profit of S$21.5m in 4QFY13.

Here's more:

Poor load factors (- 9ppt y-o-y to 74%) coupled with weak yields (-16% y-o-y) and higher unit costs (CASK up 2.2% y-o-y) resulted in a very disappointing quarter overall. In addition, associates in Australia and Indonesia continued to be loss-making.

On top of this, Tigerair also recorded exceptional losses to the tune of $51m in 4QFY14 which included a S$25m provision related to planned aircraft grounding in FY15 and S$27m for further impairment of investments in associates. We reckon Tigerair has now fully written down its Australian stake.

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.
