Resorts World Sentosa and Tiger Airways
Singapore are working together to operate a chartered aircraft
dedicated to flying overseas guests to Resorts World Sentosa,
Singapore’s first integrated resort. Yet to be named, the private
flight service, operated by Tiger Airways, will have an aircraft
operating as a dedicated charter service for Resorts World
Sentosa, transporting guests between Singapore and other cities
around the region.
Under the signed Memorandum of Understanding, Resorts World Sentosa will take over the lease of
the aircraft, while pilots and cabin crew of Tiger Airways operate
the dedicated plane, which will ply Tiger Airways’ existing
region-wide network, as well as short haul routes within Asia and
Australasia. Operations are scheduled to commence late 2010.
Ms Rosalynn Tay, Managing Director of Tiger Airways
Singapore, said, “We are proud to partner Resorts World Sentosa in
bringing more visitors to Singapore. This is a real alliance with
real benefits to both partners. While Tiger Airways gets a new
revenue stream and reduced costs, Resorts World Sentosa gets a
cost-effective solution to bringing more customers to Singapore’s
most exciting new destination.”
Ms Liang
Wern Ling, Director of Destination Sales, Resorts World Sentosa,
added, “We promised Singapore that Resorts World Sentosa will bring
tourism to the country and reinvent its tourism landscape. We are
creating our own airline with this first aircraft, which shows our
commitment to bringing the economic benefits to Singapore.’’
