Budget carrier to fly Singapore-Perth route
Singapore-based budget carrier Valuair will begin flying to Perth in December.
The airline says it is also looking to open routes into China.
Valuair's public relations manager, Nilesh Pritam, says that prices have yet to be set for flights to Perth.
However, the airline is aiming to continue its policy of being 40 per cent cheaper than the major airlines.
Valuair was the first budget carrier to begin operating from Singapore in May this year and already flies to Bangkok, Jakarta and Hong Kong.
Mr Pritam says the airline has chosen to expand its operations to Perth, a five-hour flight away, ahead of other destinations because of the city's popularity with Singaporeans for holidays, living and studying.
"The number of Singaporeans living there are tremendous," Mr Pritam said.
Singapore Airlines and Qantas are currently the only airlines to fly between Singapore and Perth with normal return fares priced at about $A680.
