Are better times ahead for floundering Tigerair?

Not in the near term, analysts say.

Tigerair had managed to stave off trouble with its $230m rights issue, but the path to profitability is a long way away for the struggling carrier.

According to OCBC, the stronger balance sheet and cash balance will help Tigerair in its turnaround strategy through alliance with Scoot. However, its impact will only be visible from at least 2HFY16 onwards.

“In the near-term, declining oil prices will help in improving profitability. However, we think the depressed yields due to overcapacity in the region will continue to mute its earnings in 2015, negating the effects of lower oil prices,” stated OCBC.

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.
