Not really, J* tapped a previously untapped market and quickly added capacity to get the critical mass required for profit. Not the same in any man's language. Tiger are trying to bust into an already saturated market. The must have something more in mind for Australia down the track otherwise they would have pulled the pin by now. SN |

JQ just as safe, yet more efficient. Anyways, this I recall is a Tiger thread. Good to see them airborne again. |
Ms Regan said the airline was pleased with the level of demand and "many flights were departing nearly full". "Tiger Airways is developing the network plan proposed by the business," she said. "The resumption of domestic services is gradual in order to focus on operational excellence." |

Your right, QF did hand J* a "ready made" rather than an "untapped" (bad wording on my behalf), market. They have also built on that low cost market substantially you would have to say. My point is that Tiger are having to battle it out in the trenches against some pretty mean well established operators. I thought they would have pulled the pin when they were grounded. The fact that they are still here tells me they are filling a gap in a market they predict will expand to enable them to grow. SN |
Ex Virgin executive, Andrew David, now the CEO of Tiger Australia.
He was also in the running for the top job at Virgin with Boghetti... |
So is he going to introduce some 'Virgin Flare' to the joint?
Ex-Virgin exec gets top job at Tiger Matt O'Sullivan September 12, 2011 - 11:41AM Tiger Airways has named Andrew David, a former senior executive at Virgin Blue, as the new boss of its troubled Australian operations. The appointment of an experienced airline executive signals that Tiger’s Singapore parent and its cornerstone shareholders, including Singapore Airlines, intend to maintain the Australian operations despite its recent forced grounding due to safety concerns. Mr David, formerly the chief operating officer at Virgin, will begin on October 17, replacing Tony Davis as chief executive of Tiger’s Australian business. He had been seen as a potential replacement for Virgin’s co-founder, Brett Godfrey, but lost out to John Borghetti for the top job almost two years ago. Advertisement: Story continues below Mr David left Australia’s second-largest airline last last year, joining an exodus of other senior managers who had worked under Mr Godfrey. Before joining Virgin in 2005, Mr David had held a number of senior management roles at Air New Zealand, including chief information officer and head of strategy and planning. Chin Yau Seng, the acting chief executive of Singapore-based Tiger Airways, said he was confident Mr David could take the Australian operations to ‘‘new heights’’. ‘‘He brings with him a wealth of experience in the airline business and a proven track record as a leader and manager,’’ he said in a release to the Singapore Stock Exchange today. Mr Davis, who was previously the boss of Tiger’s Singapore parent, is the third chief executive of the Australian business to leave in 18 months. He will officially finish on November 1. He departure was announced two week ago. Read more: Ex-Virgin exec gets top job at Tiger | Andrew David |

They are welcome to him.

Only he saw himself as BG's potential replacement.
I speak for many when I say the changing of the guard couldn't have gone better. |
Tiger Airways Thailand now shelved.
With SQ management taking the reins, will be interesting to see where they send all these A320's, Singapore already has too many aircraft for its current schedule. Tiger Japan? Tiger Philippines? Or something they should have done from the start, primarily focus on Tiger Singas and Australia, to create two dominant strong carriers going forward. |
Tiger Australia still exist? Oh yes the Melbourne only airline to SYD, OOL, BNE and PER.
Unquestionably still ripping up millions each week, guaranteed |
The right to live and work in Australia to start with...

Return to ASP?
Does anyone know when Tiger are planning to return to Alice Springs?
Genuine question – I run an indigenous volunteer literacy program in the NT and I need to get some more volunteers up there soon at the best airfares. Thanks from anyone who knows what is going on. Cheers Pedota |
Best airfares?
Depends on your view then I guess... Cheapest airfares? More probable... |
Good point Xcel . . . I meant cheapest airfares as we run the program without much funding. Any idea when they are going back to Alice?
