Singapore's Tiger Airways to add Cambodia to flight
network
SINGAPORE : Singapore low-fare carrier Tiger Airways said on
Tuesday it will launch daily flights to Cambodia shortly once it
has secured approval from the country's regulatory
authorities.
It has already obtained permission from the Singapore government to
fly to Cambodia, said Tiger Airways, which is aggressively
expanding its regional network.
"This is an important development in the expansion of our regional
route network as it gives us more efficiency in the use of our
aircraft which will enable us to continue offering the lowest
fares," chief executive Tony Davis said in a statement.
A Tiger Airways spokesman told AFP the carrier was hopeful of a
favourable reply from the Cambodian authorities.
In the same statement, the Singapore Airlines-backed carrier also
announced it has secured additional traffic rights to fly from
Singapore to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam's southern metropolis.
It will increase its flights to Ho Chi Minh City to six flights
weekly from four currently, starting October.
Tiger, which is 49-percent owned by Singapore Airlines, currently
flies from Singapore to Thailand, Vietnam, Macau, the Philippines
and Indonesia.
