Tiger up as Mandala to fly again

Shares of Singapore’s Tiger Airways Holdings rose as much as 6.4% on Tuesday after the budget carrier said its Indonesian joint venture airline will resume flying from April 2012, reported Reuters.

By 9:23 a.m., Tiger shares were up 5.1% at $0.82, outperforming the broader Straits Times Index which was 0.2% higher.

Tiger Airways said on Tuesday that the Indonesian Director General of Air Communications had reactivated the air operator’s certificate of Indonesia’s PT Mandala Airlines, in which Tiger has a 33% investment. 
 
"Information regarding the number of aircraft, the initial routes and destinations for Mandala will be announced soon. The resumption of flights is scheduled for April 2012," Tiger said in a statement.
 
Mandala’s certificate had been frozen since the suspension of its operations in January 2011.
