Tiger Airways soon to land in Taipei

Singapore’s low-cost airlines continue to expand in Greater China with the addition of Taipei, when flights commence on 11/1/11.

Tiger Airways on Thursday announced Taipei as its newest destination and that it is increasing frequencies to 4 other destinations. With these additions, Tiger Airways’ services to Greater China will increase from 44 to 68 flights per week, said an announcement from Tiger Airlines.

After the announcement, Taipei becomes Tiger’s 6th destination in Greater China, after Guangzhou, Haikou, Hong Kong, Macau and Shenzhen.

Tiger Airways said Taipei topped a recent poll conducted among passengers.

“We have chosen Taipei as our next destination after many customers voted it as their favourite. Today, we begin the Tiger low-fare revolution on this highly popular route. With the greatest value at the lowest fares, we will drive down market prices for consumers, just as we have done for other destinations including Hong Kong,” said Rosalynn Tay, Managing Director of Tiger Airways Singapore.

Tiger will begin flying between Singapore and Taipei daily starting 11 January 2011.

The budget carrier also announced increased frequencies on existing routes, taking effect from October 2010 onwards. The additional flights will be to Guangzhou (from 7 to 14), Hong Kong (from 14 to 21), Macau (from 11 to 12) and Shenzhen (from 5 to 7).

“This expansion will be supported by our fleet increase from 10 to 14 by December 2010. We look forward to announcing more services that our increased capacity enables.” said Ms Tay.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
