SEAIR Partners Tiger Airways

South East Asian Airlines (SEAIR) has become the first Tiger Airways Partner Airline in the region. The first jet services to be offered by SEAIR will start on 16 December with services between Clark and Singapore. Additional routes operated by SEAIR using these new jet aircraft will be added to the programme over the coming months.

Using an initial fleet of two Airbus aircraft leased from Tiger Airways, SEAIR will commence jet aircraft operations next month. Seats will be marketed and distributed using Tiger Airways' established internet booking system. The resulting operational and cost efficiencies will ensure more low fare seats are available and contribute to the growth of SEAIR and the Clark gateway, benefiting customers in the Philippines and across the Asia Pacific region.

Avalino Zapanta, SEAIR's President and CEO, said, "With this new collaboration with Tiger Airways, we will also be able to serve more international visitors to the Philippines by offering more destinations with great value, low fares. In addition, the introduction of these new jet services will create a welcome boost to the Philippines tourism industry and create more high calibre local jobs."

Tiger Airways Holdings President and CEO, Tony Davis, added, "the creation of our new "Partner Airline" programme is another way that we, together with SEAIR, can offer even more low fare seats to even more customers. Making flights operated by SEAIR available on the Tiger Airways website will ensure that customers can easily access more routes and destinations with the same low fares currently offered through tigerairways.com".

Approval from the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) of the Philippines has already been obtained for Tiger Airways to lease two Airbus aircraft to SEAIR.

To support its continued growth, Tiger Airways has advanced the delivery of two aircraft to the financial year 2011/12, from their original delivery dates in the financial year 2015/16.
