Tiger Airways to offer up to 5 flights a day between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur

Tiger Airways is increasing its number of flights between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. From 1 December 2008 Tiger Airways will offer up to 5 flights a day between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur up from one daily flight per day. This will result in more than 40,000 seats a month each way, or the equivalent to 480,000 extra seats a year on the route.

To celebrate, Tiger Airways is offering 50,000 seats on sale from today (Thursday) for $0 plus taxes and charges between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur.

Rosalynn Tay, Managing Director of Tiger Airways Singapore, said “This is a huge milestone in Asian low fare aviation, and at Tiger Airways we’re very proud to be leading the way once again. Working at Tiger Airways is living the low fare dream. Where else in the world could I make almost 500,000 people a year so happy with so many low fares, at such great times. This huge increase in flights between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore means one thing for travellers – lots more Tiger Airways’ famous low fares.”

Tiger Airways would not be able to announce its revolutionary increase in capacity between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur without the significant achievements of both governments concerned.

Rosalynn Tay said, “I would like to congratulate the forward thinking of the Singapore and Malaysian governments and aviation authorities in their progression of a liberalisation agenda that benefits both economies. By meeting this liberalisation milestone ahead of the ASEAN roadmap both countries are acknowledged around the world in a job well done. The customer is the big winner here.”

On Friday, Jetstar Asia launched a 50,000 Free Seats Promotion and AirAsia also launched a 51,000 Free Seats Promotion.
