CAAS launches online travel portal offering best
airfares
SINGAPORE: Singapore's latest travel portal offering some
of the best airfares around is not the brainchild of a dotcom
entrepreneur.
Instead, it is an effort by the Civil Aviation Authority of
Singapore (CAAS) to enable users to compare the best deals for
flights into and out of Singapore at a glance and to make
bookings.
At ViaSingapore.com, a search engine will comb over
100 websites in real time for the best airfares on offer.
Search results will include fares on both full-service airlines and
low-cost carriers, with the lowest airfares featured upfront.
The portal also has information on accommodation, tour packages and
upcoming events.
CAAS' director-general and chief executive officer, Lim Kim Choon,
said the portal would also help travellers explore the Asia-Pacific
region from Singapore, and is part of the authority's ongoing
efforts to enhance Changi Airport's attractiveness as an air
hub.
