Tiger add Hong Kong to network

Tiger Airways announced Monday the addition of Hong Kong to its network, the airline saying it will fly twice a day to the destination from Singapore.

Commencing 1 February 2010, the daily flights to Hong Kong will depart Singapore in the morning and afternoon.

To promote the route, the carrier has launched a sale on 18,000 Singapore-Hong Kong seats from $129 inclusive of taxes and charges. Customers can book now for travel from 1 February 2010 to 30 October 2010.

"Hong Kong's status as a tourist and business destination, the demand for low fares and the ongoing success of the Tiger Airways across Asia mean that now is the time for growth" said Managing Director Singapore Rosalynn Tay.

Hong Kong Tourism Board Regional Director-South & Southeast Asia David Leung said the new services would help boost Hong Kong's accessibility.

"Singaporeans now have even more choices and more reasons to visit Hong Kong"
