Tigerair Australia

Winner of the 2006 and 2010 CAPA Low Cost Airline of the Year Award, Tigerair is a Singapore-based ‘budget’ airline which operates from Singapore Changi Airport. A relatively new airline, Tigerair’s scheduled routes extend to 37 destinations in southern Asia, China, India and Australia, carrying over 5 million passengers in 2014.

Unlike the majority of airlines, Tigerair is one of the industry’s newcomers, having only started ticket sales approximately 10 years ago, but nevertheless enjoyed an increase in passenger numbers of 75% in its second year of trading. Tigerair restricts flying time with its 27 aircraft to less than 5 hours from its hub as a key cost-saving measure.

Tigerair’s reputation has been built around its rapid success as a low cost airline against rising oil prices and intense competition in the budget airline market.
