Tiger Airways' Philippine operations put in question

A letter of complaint was filed against the airline before the Civil Aeronautics Board of the Philippines.

In a disclosure made to the Singapore Exchange, the LCC said the complaint suggested that the suspension of the operations of Tiger Airways Australia Pty. Ltd. (TT) in July 2011 by the Australian regulator, the Civil Aviation Safety Authority, raises similar questions about the airline's operations to the Philippines.

Tiger Airways Singapore (TR), which markets budget flights in the country, however clarified that it is a company separate from TT..

TR  has responded to the CAB with a detailed answer and a motion to dismiss the complaint.

“The company is of the opinion that the above complaint is without merit. TR and TT hold separate Air Operator's Certificates and are operated as two separate subsidiary companies,” the airline said.

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.
