Tiger Airways Singapore in Fleet Increase

Tiger Airways Singapore says it is responding to growing passenger demand by increasing its fleet of A320s from 10 to 14 by December 2010.

Rosalynn Tay, Tiger Airways Singapore's MD, said: " Since we started Hong Kong in February, this route is so popular that we are now flying triple daily, only a few months after the inaugural flight. We are now replicating the low-fare revolution in Trichy and Trivandrum, which are already selling very well ahead of the inaugural flights in November. We look forward to spreading our low-fare revolution to more parts of Asia, especially the most populous places like Greater China and India."

For the 12 months to June 2010, 5.3 million passengers chose Tiger Airways, an increase of 52% from the preceding 12 months, the airline announced.
