This Policy sets out the compensation and assistance we will provide to you where your flight has been delayed or cancelled.

    MEDIA RELEASE 28 November 2014 CCS CLEARS PROPOSED ACQUISITION BY SINGAPORE AIRLINES LIMITED OF TIGER AIRWAYS HOLDINGS LIMITED 1. The Competition Commission of Singapore (“CCS”) has cleared the proposed acquisition of Tiger Airways Holdings Limited (“Tigerair Holdings”) by Singapore Airlines Limited (“SIA”) (SIA and Tigerair Holdings collectively “the Parties”). CCS has concluded that the Proposed Transaction will not infringe the section 54 prohibition of the Competition Act, as Tigerair Holdings is likely to exit its operations in the absence of the Proposed Transaction. The Proposed Transaction 2. SIA holds 40% of the shares in Tigerair Holdings. Pursuant to the Proposed Transaction, SIA intends to acquire new Shares in Tigerair Holdings. SIA will convert all the Perpetual Convertible Capital Securities (“PCCS”) it holds in Tigerair Holdings into new Shares in the capital of Tigerair Holdings. Upon such conversion, SIA’s shareholding interest in Tigerair Holdings will increase from 40 percent to approximately 56 percent and accordingly, Tigerair Holdings will become a subsidiary of SIA. After the conversion, SIA will, pursuant to the irrevocable undertaking it has entered into with Tigerair Holdings, subscribe for its pro-rata entitlement of new shares in the capital of Tigerair Holdings (“Rights Shares”) and subscribe for any excess Rights Shares, up to an aggregate value of S$140 million. Markets affected by the Proposed Transaction 3. For the purposes of the merger assessment, CCS has determined that SIA and Tigerair Holdings compete in the markets for the supply of international air passenger transport services on economy-class for full-service airlines (“FSA”) and all classes of seats for low-cost carriers (“LCC”) on routes operated by both SIA and its subsidiaries (namely SilkAir and Scoot) and Tigerair Singapore, and which involve Singapore as part of an origin-destination (“OD”) pair.

  • Singapore Airlines
    SINGAPORE AIRLINES Annual Report FY2016/17 MISSION STATEMENT Singapore Airlines is a global company dedicated to providing air transportation services of the highest quality and to maximising returns for the benefit of its shareholders and employees. OUR JOURNEY CONTINUES... CELEBRATING 70 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE: The Singapore Airlines Group’s history dates back to 1947 with the maiden flight of Malayan Airways Limited. The airline was later renamed Malaysian Airways Limited, and then Malaysia-Singapore Airlines. In 1972, Malaysia-Singapore Airlines split into Singapore Airlines and Malaysian Airline System. Initially operating a modest fleet of 10 aircraft to 22 cities in 18 countries, Singapore Airlines’ commitment to service excellence, product leadership and network connectivity quickly distinguished it as a world-class international airline group. Today, Singapore Airlines operates a modern passenger fleet of more than 100 aircraft. Together with wholly-owned subsidiaries SilkAir, Scoot, Tiger Airways (which operates as Tigerair) and SIA Cargo, the SIA Group fleet comprises nearly 180 aircraft. The combined passenger network covers 131 destinations in 35 countries. More than 31 million passengers were carried by the SIA Group’s four Singapore-based passenger airlines in the 2016/17 financial year. Singapore Airlines and its subsidiaries today employ more than 25,000 staff, with the world-famous Singapore Girl as an iconic symbol of quality customer care and service.

  • Tiger Airways Flies Into Regional Turbulence by Justin Hsiao
    NUS Risk Management Institute rmicri.org Tiger Airways flies into regional turbulence By Justin Hsiao Tiger Airways Holdings Ltd (TGR), 40% owned by Singapore Airlines Ltd, has been struggling with negative operating margins and falling yields per passenger mile. The low-cost carrier reported a loss of USD 52.1mn in the quarter ended in June, widening from a USD 26.1mn loss a year earlier. Overall, the business posted losses for the last three quarters. As shown in Chart 1, the RMI 1-year probability of default (RMI PD) for TGR displayed a distinct increasing trend since the middle of last year from 2.86bps to the current 35.14bps, rising above the aggregate PD for 4 listed low-cost airlines in the Southeast Asian region. Chart 1: 1-year RMI PD for Tiger Airways vs Aggregate PD for listed budget carriers in Southeast Asia. (includes RMI PDs for AirAsia BHD, Asia Aviation PCL, Cebu Air Inc and Nok Airlines PCL) Source: Risk Management Institute Tiger Airways most recent quarterly net loss is the largest of all Southeast Asian budget carriers. According to the CEO Lee Lik Hsin, the low frills airline industry is facing a challenging operating environment due to a persistent oversupply of flight capacity. Recent aviation disasters in Malaysian Airlines and the Taiwan air accident may affect passenger flight revenue but the carrier plans to focus on filling its planes with passengers, and then improving yields through partnerships to increase earnings. In order to gain overseas revenue, TGR has affiliate companies, subsidiary companies, and joint ventures across Southeast Asian region, including Indonesia, Australia, Philippines, South Korea, Thailand, and Taiwan.

On 12 September 2014, the Competition Commission of Singapore (“CCS”) received an application for decision made under section 44 of the Competition Act (Cap. 50B) (“the Act”) by Cebu Air, Inc. and Tiger Airways Singapore Pte.

A decision was sought as to whether the SAA will infringe the prohibition under section 34 of the Act. 2.

CCS found that the SAA will not benefit from the net economic benefit exclusion set out in section 35, read with paragraph 9 of the Third Schedule to the Act (the “NEB Exclusion”) and will therefore prevent, restrict or distort competition in the Relevant Markets (as defined in paragraph 69). Specifically, CCS assessed that the strategic alliance will raise competition concerns with respect to the Singapore – Clark and the Singapore – Cebu routes.
