As one who uses the Budget Terminal & Tiger (currently its only resident Airline) it is fine.
Nah, Budget Terminal has 2 airlines operating from it.

Did you read that story??? It says late August as it is still July what I said (to quote again -"currently its only resident Airline") is currently correct. As I flew out of there last week I do have a little first hand knowledge!! Duh!

Ok then, Mr Budget Specialist.
Guess you read the entire story exept the opening sentnce?
"SINGAPORE: The Budget Terminal has a second customer. "
Not will be having.
Official records: 2 current airlines operating from it. Operate as in groundwork. Not necessarily taking off and landing although that would be their ultimate motive.

Well, I read the article. Methinks Oz has it about right with both his skills of observation and reading.
The article clearly states in paragraph 3:
"So far it has had only one client - Tiger Airways."
I was wrong once and readily admitted it. Cleansing is good for the soul.

For an airport to be "operating", I would think there would need to be those long aluminum tubes soaring into the air with a rush of noise. As I read the report, and Oz's first hand observation, there is only one airline that "has had" operations there.
The term "has had" does not denote the number of carriers, it denotes the current situation as to the number of carriers at the time of publishing the article.
Seems simple enough to me.

I simply can not resist. I fought hard not to get into the grammar discussions Tulip discussions. But my resistance has broken and I must enter the fray.
I have read said article and as much as it pains me I have to side with the Aussy on this one. Said terminal currently has one carrier (Tiger) and will have a second in August.
Mr. X – While looking only at the sentence you have highlight and no other part of the article one may be lead to believe differently. However as is often the case for news publications in non-native English speaking locations their grammar is not consistent throughout the article. The sentence you point out would lead one to believe operations are in the present tense, however further investigation clearly indicates that Cebu Pacific will not start daily flights until August.
The terminal does indeed have a second customer; however they do not start flying from the terminal until next month. So currently there is only one carrier with flights at the terminal.

Sorry factorx but any native English speaker would interpret the article in the same way Oz has.
Bottom line being right now if you want to get a flight from the budget terminal in Singapore you have a choice of Tiger only. In another month you would be correct but not right now. 
IBF, hope the pain of siding with an Aussie has now eased for you.

FP:
Yes, the pain has indeed subsided. Of course I find that pain does not stay with me very long in Thailand. All I have to do now is figure out if it is the wine (Southern Comfort actually) or the women that are alleviating my pain so quickly?
What’s a septic to do?
Was quite impressed by the walloping the Aussies put on the South Africans earlier this month, now can the Wallabies rebound this week-end from the beating they took earlier this month from the All Blacks?
