Tiger Airways changes logo & name.
 

I personally like the new logo design.

I don't mind it, looks very European to me.

Looks like VH-VNQ is in the new titles, a photo can be found here.

Looks quite nice. New website looks good too!

Agreed

The black and yellow works, maybe something different on the tail though????

Aircraft is VNQ operating MEL-ASP-MEL-CNS-MEL today

Certainly seem to have bounced back. Not too many negative comments form the travelling public anymore. If only they had rights to fly international routes from the Eastern States to the South Pacific.

LOL you always have to ask "why" .. must keep someone in middle management employed!

the new brand's font don't match the tail all that well in my opinion, to me it's a bit of a mismatch of styles and to be honest they've used a boring font (the font itself hardly looks exciting) - they could've jazzed up the 'tiger' in the font with the tiger stripes

Oh but come this month they will ;)

I'm assuming South Pacific rights this month due to the tie up with VA?

On that assumption, I'd assume Tigerair take over some thin VA routes but are we likely to see new routes also?

Heard the livery is actually stickers and already started peeling off by the time they arrived in ASP!

I wondered about the stickers.

Because VH-VNQ was flying around everyday in the lead up to the rollout and paint wouldn't dry overnight!?

Radi, confirmed, however I haven't heard anything to do with that yet...

And....;)

Well done Tiger(air)!

VNQ was in Sydney yesterday minus the new paint job. ;)

Anyone know exactly how many aircraft in the new livery?

Only aircraft in new livery that I knew of were:

VH-VNC
VH-VND
VH-VNR

With VH-VNQ having the new titles, but still with the old tail colours.

add VH-VNH just back from Manila.

VH-VNF painted back next week from Manila.

VNJ/P leases are not far away from renewal either, so not sure if they will return and replace with newer TR aircraft.

Tiger Phil are just about to return 5 aircraft to back to TR so who knows.

VNH is hiding in the BaE hanger at the moment with a few issues.

VNH is out and about now.

I flew vnh yesterday from asp to Mel, she is certainly looking very fresh in her new outfit

Next one VH-XUG

No Sharklets either... :(

Can anyone advise if Australia registered Tiger aircraft will receive sharklets or only Singapore based.

They will, its just a matter of when the order changes.

Tiger Airways Singapore has been sporting this new logo on its jets for a while now, seen in and out of YPPH on a regular basis. Its good to see the Australian side catching up. I quite like the look of the new logo, way better than the old one.

Leth, Tigerair Sin and Tigerair Aus both launched the new brand at the same time, at the current stage 5/12 aircraft have been repainted/stickered up.

ah well, there ya go then James. The only planes sporting the new logo that I have seen have been the Tigerair Singapore ones.....I haven't seen any Australian registered ones yet but given time I probably will, sometime.

Next one for Tiger has had its first flight VH-XUH.

VH-XUI is not far off either.

No Sharklets are installed on these or any future aircraft.

Please ensure all new Tiger aircraft carry a role of gaffa tape in the glove box.
Apparently / allegedly an Adelaide Melbourne flight was held for 6 hours whilst they flew an engineer to fix a tray table in the exit row. Apparently the engineer was flown from Melbourne to Adelaide on another carrier.

Solution? Wrap gaffa tape around the seat to prevent it from deploying in the exit row.

Looking forward to getting my hands on some more new one's, :-).

Shame there's no sharklet's though, :-(.

Is this because the sectors are to short for any real difference? I would have thought the coast to coast flights would benefit.

Cheers

Based on the lessors requirements, not the airlines.

Rumour has it that XUH is parked up in TLS.

VHVNK returned from XSP yesterday, it's had a partial repaint to the titles and engines but the tail is still original.

VH-VNB is in Seletar at the moment

Repaint???

Yes

Any word when the new ones stored in TLS will be delivered ?
