I knew that some were already in practice with Ryanair and other deep-discount airlines, but I've never experienced Tiger Airways. I just looked up <a HREF="http://www.tigerairways.com/about/facts-sheet.php" rel="nofollow">Tiger's ownership</A>, and I saw this: "Our founding shareholders are: <B>Singapore Airlines Limited (49%)</B>; Indigo Partners LLC, the investment firm founded by Bill Franke, (24%); Irelandia Investments Limited, <B>the private investment arm of Tony Ryan and his family, (16%)</B>; and Temasek Holdings Pte Ltd (11%)." I guess those 16% of Ryanair family ownership overshadow the 49% Singapore Airlines ownership. But do they feature the laser show? Thanks for the heads-up, Joe.

I just looked up Tiger’s ownership, and I saw this:

“Our founding shareholders are: Singapore Airlines Limited (49%); Indigo Partners LLC, the investment firm founded by Bill Franke, (24%); Irelandia Investments Limited, the private investment arm of Tony Ryan and his family, (16%); and Temasek Holdings Pte Ltd (11%).”

I guess those 16% of Ryanair family ownership overshadow the 49% Singapore Airlines ownership.

But do they feature the laser show?

Everything is brought to you by Visa. Most of the ideas you write about, ads on the overhead bin doors, the flight attendant’s uniforms, etc. already exist on Tiger Airways.
