Tiger Airways to double flights to Jakarta

Scarce rights reallocated from other airlines to Tiger to drive competition further with low fares.

Tiger Airways has earned double the stripes on its popular Jakarta-Singapore route. Having flown daily and delivering a strong 85% network load factor for the last financial year, Tiger has earned the rights to fly twice daily starting from late 2010.

In the recent distribution of limited traffic rights by Singapore’s Air Traffic Rights Committee (ATRC), Tiger won the additional rights from other airlines, while retaining its own, according to a Tiger Airways announcement.

Rosalynn Tay, Managing Director of Tiger Airways Singapore, said “We are pleased to be awarded additional rights to the popular Jakarta-Singapore route. We look forward to serving more passengers between the neighbouring Asean cities with our low, low fares. With twice the number of flights and choice of timings, we will be even better armed to lead the low-fare revolution to the benefit of consumers.”

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.
