Tiger Airways to launch flights between the Philippines and Macau

Tiger Airways, a Singapore-based low cost airline, is to launch its first route between points outside of Singapore connecting the Philippines and Macau with daily flights starting 30 October 2005.

“This link between Macau and Manila (Clark) is a significant milestone for our airline as we gear up to our next phase of expansion. We have gone out and looked for new opportunities to provide our low fares to a larger number of passengers by linking our successful operations to Macau and Manila (Clark),” said Tony Davis, CEO Tiger Airways. “The new service will allow us to carry more than 100,000 passengers a year between the two points, bringing socio-economic benefits to the region with both increased tourist and business travel.”

Tiger Airways is confident that there is demand for its low fare flights not only from tourists between both points, but also from the many Overseas Filipino Workers based in Macau and Hong Kong.

Tiger Airways will also increase its direct services between Singapore and the Philippines to 10 round trip services a week, starting from 30 July 2005.

Tiger Airways will operate daily flights between Singapore and Manila and increase to two flights a day on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
