TIGER LAUNCHES FLIGHTS TO NEW SUN-SAND-SEA DESTINATION – BORACAY

SINGAPORE – Starting from 18 July, Tiger Airways will offer flights three times weekly from Singapore to Kalibo, gateway to the getaway destination of Boracay. Best known for its beautiful beaches, sea activities, golfing and cliff diving activities, Boracay has grown in appeal among travellers, garnering over 1.2 million visitors in 2012 alone. It has also witnessed an increasing number of Singaporeans who frequent its beaches over the long weekends.

Currently, visitors to the island generally transit at Manila and Cebu to board a 2-hour and 1- hour domestic flight respectively, before arriving at Kalibo. The new 3.5-hour direct flight to Kalibo, to be operated by Tiger’s associate airline, Southeast Asian Airlines (SEAir), will cut down on transit and travelling time. Travellers will also enjoy savings on airfare as they will now be paying for air passage on one flight instead of two. Tiger Group is the only budget carrier to offer a direct Singapore-Kalibo call.

The new Singapore-Kalibo route demonstrates Tiger Group’s commitment to grow its network presence in the Philippines, which has emerged over the years to become an important market.

“Boracay is one destination that visitors would want to return to time and again for a picturesque sun-sand-sea escapade, and we want to make it easier for our customers to do so by bringing the beaches closer to them and at affordable prices,” said Ms Olive Ramos, Chief Executive Officer of SEAir.

In conjunction with the Singapore-Kalibo route launch, Tiger Airways will be offering promotional fares of $88 between 21 May and 24 May. This fare, which is inclusive of taxes and other charges, is valid for travel from 18 July 2013 through 29 March 2014.
Promotional fares are subject to availability, so to take advantage of this fantastic offer, book now at www.tigerairways.com.
