Tiger Airways has inaugurated daily service between Singapore and Jakarta.
Rosalynn Tay managing director of Tiger Airways Singapore commented, “This new daily flight marks a great day in the history of Tiger Airways. For the first time the airline now serves the capital cities of the six largest economies in southeast Asia, as well as destinations in China, India and Australia.”
To qualify as a 'boutique' airline, enabling it to meet the requirements of the authorities, Tiger has also introduced its new enhanced product -- Harimau -- on its Indonesian routes. “Our Harimau service is all about giving travellers choice at the best possible price," explained Tay. "From now on travellers on the Indonesian services have the choice of priority boarding, a complimentary refreshment on board and free in-flight magazine, as well as hot meals, beverages and other items available for purchase on the direct flight.”
