    BUDGET carrier Tiger Airways said it is reassessing its investment in Tigerair Mandala as the loss-making associate continues to bleed.

    This comes as the low-cost airline has been scaling back its presence in the region - and reversing earlier efforts aimed at creating a pan-Asian footprint - by divesting 60 per cent of Tigerair Australia to Virgin Australia and more recently, selling off its 40 per cent stake in Tigerair Philippines to the Philippines' largest airline, Cebu Pacific.
