Tiger Airways Celebrates Changi Deal with Promotion

Tiger Airways Singapore has signed an agreement with Changi Airport Group to grow its base at Changi Airport for three years, from January 2010 to December 2012. With this deal in place, the airline plans to further expand its fleet and routes out of Changi Airport.

To celebrate the deal, Tiger Airways is offering 25,000 seats at Sin$0.01 plus taxes to Haikou, Macau, Ho Chi Minh City, Kuala Lumpur, Kuching, Penang, Hat Yai, Krabi and Phuket. The promotion is valid from 20 to 26 May 2010, or until stocks last, for travel between 1 July and 31 August 2010.

“From April 2009 to March 2010, the Tiger Airways group carried 4.9 million passengers, an increase of 54% over the previous year. We achieved this while reducing controllable costs by 15.1%, and our average passenger fares by 22.2%. We are proud to have played a key role in Changi Airport’s bids to stay on top, and in developing Singapore as a low fare carrier hub,” said Rosalynn Tay, Managing Director of Tiger Airways Singapore. “Having secured a deal for our continued commitment in the next three years, we look forward to growing our Singapore base. From now till March 2011, we will grow our fleet of 10 aircraft to at least 12, expand our pawprints to more destinations within Asia Pacific, and grow our team here in Singapore proportionately.”

Tiger Airways currently serves 21 destinations in Asia Pacific from Singapore, with a fleet of 10 aircraft. It accounts for the majority of flights at the Budget Terminal.
