Scoot to possibly tie up with Tiger

Do you wonder how the two LCCs will complement one another?

SIA’s new mid-to-long haul low cost carrier (LCC) Scoot recently announced it will be flying to Bangkok starting from Jul 2012, which according to OCBC Investment Research baffled investors by competing directly with the group’s 33%-owned associate Tiger Airways (TGR) in a short haul route.

However, SIA CEO revealed that, without interfering with the management of TGR, the group is looking at increased collaboration between the two LCCs.

OCBC analyst Eric Teo notes that while the proposed collaboration should get easier since both LCCs will be flying out of Terminal 2 at Changi Airport starting from Sep 2012, it is still unclear as to how the two LCCs will complement each other.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
