Tiger Airways offers Bangkok tickets for S$1
SINGAPORE - Tiger Airways, Singapore's newest budget airline, launched a price war on Monday, offering one-way flights to its three maiden Thai destinations for just S$1 (US$0.58).
Although the discounted tickets are promotional fares, the rock-bottom rates underscore the fast-rising competition in the region's no-frills sector even as more rivals are set to take to the skies.
'We have clearly proven that we are serious about being the low-cost carrier,' said Chief Executive Patrick Gan. 'Tiger Airways is delivering on its promise of low fares.'
The new airline, which will launch its first flight to the Thai capital
Bangkok on Sept 15, is an offshoot of national flag-carrier Singapore Airlines.
Its shareholders include the Ryan family, founders of leading Irish discount carrier Ryanair, and Temasek Holdings, the Singapore government's powerful investment arm.
Tiger said on Monday the S$1 fares would apply during its first weeks of flying to Bangkok from Sept 15, the southern Thai town of Hatyai from Sept 22, and the resort island of Phuket from September 29.
The promotional fares must be booked online, and don't include fees for airport charges and insurance.
About a third of the company's seats in its first week of flying to each destination will be sold for S$1, with the remainder going for between S$40 and S$140. -- AP
