No one makes a profit on 3c seats. What it does though is fill a seat that would normally be empty with someone that may have flown on J* or VB and if that person is happy with the service and the near free ride, they may just come back as a paying pax on their next trip.
One less punter for the opposition.

Emu. You amaze me. You slam QF for being one of the most Government subsidized airlines in the world, yet praise SIA which would be absolutely nowhere without government backing!!!!!!
Wake up and smell the coffee pal, Tiger is here simply cos SIA cant get acces to the Pacific. Oh but wait, yes they can from THEIR OWN COUNTRY DIRECT TO THE US!!!!!!
I'd suggest you have never been to Singapore, because you are missing a far more accurate "THEY ARE ......" than the ones you chose to type.
And it ain't a complimentary one.

I know how to make a profit on "three cents (Sing$) oneway" air fares ... but you first.......
Is it possible to purchase a return ticket between Singapore and Thailand for S$0.06 cents, unconditional, on any flight?
If not, what is the lowest price for a return sector air fare........
A major investor in SQ and I assume Tiger is the Singapore Superannuation Fund. They are not in there to accrue losses..........
And if SQ gets the cheapest fuel in the world - which I doubt - just goes to show how smart they are as Singapore has no oil wells to my knowledge.
It really begs the question why Australians have to pay very high "world parity prices" for fuel pumped out of Aussie oil wells? Maybe because it is sent to Singapore for processing?

It's because the soon to be well and truly kicked up the ar5e at the next election Kim Il John tied it (petrol pricing) to world parity pricing isn't it??? It must have been during that period whilst he was treasurer, when he did such a good job according to his current treasurer, when interest rates began to soar, and we are now heading for our 9th (?) since 2001!
Thread drift to gratuitous government bash - thanks I feel a little better now

Tiger Will Survive
Anybody with half a brain will tell you Tiger Airways WILL survive and remain very competitive and will continue offering specials at the same time providing Australians a chance to fly on a genuine Low Cost Carrier.....Virgin blue has basically replaced Ansett and the Jetstar is just an attempt by QF managment to dismantle QF and get the company out of the unions stranglehold!
Sorry if you don't like the idea of a TRUE LCC but its coming and its coming to stay.
And for all you wondering about JETA1....its under 70cents Australian per litre in the middle of the Indian Ocean......so if you use your brain and start to realise the purchasing power of the SIA Group you will start to understand the Tiger finance model....and with 50 more A320's on order.....watch out QF and VB and the other one
And for mmmbop yes i have been to singapore thousands of times and Iam currently working in the Northern Hemisphere
Good onya Tiger.....give the ozzies a choice of price and style instead of just being ripped of by big fat bloated kangaroo carcass...and i use the word carcass because thats all thats going to be left of them!!
