The announcement follows the signing of a memorandum of understanding for 50 A320s in June, with the first 30 of these orders confirmed in October.

Tiger Airways currently operates a fleet of 12 A320s, with eight more to be delivered by 2010. The Singapore-based airline's A320s will have a 180-seat all-economy configuration

The A320s will be deployed on the airline's rapidly expanding Asia-Pacific network that extends to more than 25 destinations in eight countries. This includes its new Australian domestic operation, which was launched out of Melbourne last month.

"Tiger Airways has entered an exciting new phase of development, with continued strong growth of operations out of Singapore, the successful launch of services in Australia and a new start-up in Korea on the horizon," said CEO Tony Davis.

"The A320 has performed outstandingly for Tiger Airways over the past three years and I am confident the aircraft matches our long-term growth requirements across the Asia-Pacific region."
