Tiger Airways is the Asia-Pacific region's own low fare airline. Tiger Airways took to the skies from Singapore in 2004 with two aircraft in the fleet and three routes in its network. Within four years of operation, Tiger Airways now operates from bases in Singapore, Melbourne and Adelaide. The airline now flies to more than 25 destinations across nine countries in Asia and throughout Australia, using a fleet of new Airbus A320 aircraft.
Tiger Airways is modelled on Europe's successful Ryanair, which uses its very low cost base to offer competitively low fares on a consistent basis. All flights are single class and no frills so passengers only pay for what they want. Excess luggage, meals and entertainment on board flights are all available at affordable prices.
Tiger Airways consistently strives to be the leading low fare airline in the Asia-Pacific. It is committed to offering passengers real cost savings in air travel, not just through provision of low fares, but through a comprehensive range of Tiger Add-On products such as Luggage UpsizeTM, Sports Equipment Check-In and Seat Selector.
In addition, Tiger Airways has teamed up with various partners to provide great hotel deals, budget accommodation, car rentals and travel insurance.
Tiger Airways recently ordered 50 new Airbus A320s to grow its fleet to 72 Airbus aircraft, making it one of the region's largest and fastest growing low fare airlines. By operating newer aircraft to ensure better fuel efficiency, the airline can realise greater cost savings, while passengers can also benefit from more low cost airfares coupled with true travelling comfort.
