Tiger selects Sydney as second base in Australia

Tiger Australia will begin operations in Sydney starting from early Jul 2012.

Tiger Airways (TGR) this morning announced that its Australian operations have selected Sydney to be its second base in Australia. Tiger Australia is currently utilising seven aircraft out of Melbourne and has three aircraft in coldstorage.

“With the expected lifting of flying restrictions in Australia later this year, the second base in Sydney should help Tiger Australia to ramp up its utilisation of aircraft,” said Eric Teo of OCBC Investment Research.

Mr Teo cautioned though that the aviation sector is currently facing strong headwinds due to high jet fuel prices and uncertain global economy.

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.
