What the Scoot-Tigerair brand merger could bring

It could help improve capacity management.

The Scoot-Tigerair brand merger could help improve capacity management for the two airlines, OCBC Investment Research said.

Quoting CAPA Centre for Aviation, the brokerage firm said Scoot and Tigerair Singapore currently operate a combined fleet of 37 aircraft flying to 60 destinations, with plans to expand to 40 aircraft and more than 60 destinations by end-FY18.

By July 25 this year, the entire Scoot fleet would have been transferred over to Tigerair air operator certificate (AOC), which allows Budget Aviation Holdings (BAH) to change gauge more flexibly (change of aircraft while retaining same flight number) within their network.

"Not all countries allow slot transfers/trading between two airlines, which means if Scoot and Tigerair are operating under separate AOCs, changing to a bigger B787s (Scoot) or smaller A320s/A319s (Tigerair) to increase or decrease capacity on certain routes to optimise capacity management will not be possible," OCBC Investment Research said.

It added, "However, post-integration, with Scoot and Tigerair operating a single AOC, BAH will be able to optimise capacity with increased flexibility to change the type of aircraft used on different routes. Integration could also help in improving connectivity between the two brands, thereby increasing interlining traffic."

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.

30 One-Sentence Stories From People Who Have Built Better Habits

None of these stories are mine. They were sent to me by readers of Atomic Habits. My hope is that these examples will illustrate how real people are putting the book into practice. They will show you what people are actually doing to build good habits and break bad ones. And hopefully, they will spark some ideas for how you can do the same.

SBR 5 Lorem Ipsum News 2 [8 May]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
