Weren't you guys talking about getting 4 aircraft this year? Perhaps Indigo has other plans for them.
Good luck with the picketing. Keep the board updated on times and locations. AA's got a base in MIA as do a whole bunch of cargo operators (I hope some of you supported the Amerijet guys), and you never know, perhaps even a JetBlue pilot will show up - they do have a base in FLL, and virtually all of them are former union members, many former MEC folks from regionals there. I know I'll be there if I can, perhaps helping to push some folks in wheelchairs.
SINGAPORE 2010: Tiger advances delivery of four A320s
By Ghim-Lay Yeo
Singapore's Tiger Airways has finalised an advanced delivery agreement with Airbus for four Airbus A320 aircraft.
Originally scheduled to be delivered in 2016, they will be delivered in 2011, says the low-cost carrier.
It concluded a similar agreement for another five A320s last month. These five aircraft will be delivered this year and in early 2011, instead of 2016.
"Following our strong operating numbers in the last quarter, we have further accelerated aircraft deliveries to take on the growth opportunities awaiting us in Asia and Australasia," says Tiger's CEO Tony Davis.
The airline operates 18 A320 family aircraft and will receive its 19th this month. It aims to increase its fleet to 68 by December 2015.

Is this A320 coming from Hamburg or Toulouse?

You guys make me laugh...I decided I couldn't stay away from this board...I'm happy to be back. I look forward to our continued debates and discussions.
The A320s may come from one of their delivery centers in Finkenverder, Germany (outside Hamburg). I've been over there to pick up aircraft for another airline before. The delivery flights were always nice...stocked with wine, cheese, champagne, etc. Maybe that's why your buddy hasn't seen any come out of the Toulouse facility, unless they look like an A380.
Or, maybe they finally got smart and found some Boeing 757s.
