Tiger Airways again advances delivery of new aircraft

Tiger pounces on opportunity to advance delivery of 2 more aircraft in this financial year.

Tiger Airways has advanced the delivery of a further two new Airbus A320 aircraft from the next financial year to the current financial year ending 31 March 2011, according to a Tiger Airways report.

Tony Davis, President and Group CEO of Tiger Airways Holding Limited, said, "As additional delivery positions have become available, presumably as other airlines have postponed some of their aircraft deliveries, we have seized the opportunity to advance delivery of two new aircraft into our fleet. With a newer, younger fleet, we will realise greater operational and cost efficiencies, further reducing our operating costs and enabling us to continue offering the lowest fares possible."

The total number of aircraft being delivered in this financial year will now increase to 9, resulting in an increase in total fleet of at least 37% by March 2011.

The airline expects to return two existing aircraft when their lease expires in the 4th Quarter of this financial year.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
