Singapore's Tiger Airways Holdings reported a wider loss in the quarter ended June, hurt by one-time costs related to the shutting down of its Indonesian venture.

Tiger said yesterday its first-quarter net loss rose to S$65.2 million (HK$408 million) from S$32.8 million a year earlier.

The share of loss at Mandala Airlines was S$35.3 million, in addition to a S$14.6 million provision for its shutdown costs as it stopped operations on July 1.

Last month, Tiger, 40 per cent owned by Singapore Airlines, said it was shutting its money-losing Indonesian operations, a casualty of intensifying competition in Southeast Asia's largest domestic airline market.
