Tiger Air

Tiger Air: the Singapore Air Traffic Rights Committee recently reallocated more Singapore-Jakarta flights to Tiger Airways from rival Jetstar. As a result, Tiger Airways doubled the number of flights to Jakarta as of last week. Tiger now gets twice as many non-stop services at 14 a week, while Jetstar's flights are reduced to 17 from 24. We view this as a positive affirmation of Tiger's competitive advantage. Jetstar says it is in talks to appeal against the decision and the results are expected in two weeks, while Tiger has declined to comment on the issue.
