Tiger Airways: Mandala Airlines to Resume Flights in April

SINGAPORE, KOMPAS.com - Singapore budget carrier Tiger Airways Holdings Ltd.  said Tuesday its 33%-owned Mandala Airlines will resume flights in April, after Indonesian authorities reactivated Mandala's air operator's certificate.

Mandala will operate Airbus A320 aircraft and adopt Tiger's business model to offer low-fare travel to international and domestic Indonesian destinations within a five-hour flying radius, Tiger said in a statement.

Details on initial routes will be announced soon, the company added. Tiger last month completed its 33% investment in Mandala, which had its AOC frozen since operations were suspended in January 2011, it said.
