Tigerair Launches Changi - Quanzhou Flights

Tigerair has launched direct flights between Singapore and the coastal city of Quanzhou in China’s Fujian province.

The airline operate the route three times per week, every Monday, Thursday and Saturday.

Lee Lik Hsin, Tigerair’s CEO, said, “Tigerair is constantly looking for opportunities to provide travellers with greater choice and connectivity. Operating direct flights to Quanzhou is one such example of how we establish or improve air links between Singapore and other cities. We are delighted to be strengthening our network in China, where we see tremendous opportunities.”

Quanzhou is a major manufacturing hub for textile, apparel and petrochemicals. Due to its strategic location at the start of Maritime Silk Road, Quanzhou is expected to see growth under China’s One Belt One Road initiative. In addition, Quanzhou will appeal to Fujian Chinese from other parts of Asia looking to rediscover their ancestral heritage.

Quanzhou is also located within an 1.5-hour drive from Xiamen, the key commercial centre of Fujian Province, and a 2.5-hour drive from Fuzhou, the provincial capital of Fujian.

Promotional fares to Quanzhou on Tigerair start from Sin$329 per round trip.
