Mainboard-listed Tiger Airways is set to form an alliance with Thai Airways to start a low-cost carrier. The two sides are scheduled to organise a joint press conference in Bangkok today to announce the signing of a memorandum of understanding to establish the budget airline to be named Thai Tiger, reports said.

Looks like Tiger will soon get the Thai pilots to fly for them.

Instead of spreading itself too thin, Tiger should "just concentrate on improving their service quality. That is a part where they are already lacking in among the low-cost airlines", Mr Singh said.

It is time for Tiger to buck up.

AirAsia remains a dominant player among the low-cost carriers in Asia, analysts said, and Tiger is seen as lagging behind in terms of fleet size and network.

AirAsia has all kind of people flying for them. They never have shortage of manpower. They train people from 250 flying hours right from the beginning.
