Tiger
Airways,
a Singapore based low cost airline, has received permission from
the Singapore aviation authorities to fly daily services to Cambodia
and plans, once approval from the Cambodian authorities has been
granted, to start flying on the route shortly.
“This
is an important development in the expansion of our regional route
network as it gives us more efficiency in the use of our aircraft which
will enable us to continue
offering the lowest fares. Tiger Airways is already operating
successfully to Vietnam on its Ho Chi Minh and Hanoi routes and the
addition of Cambodia to our list of
destinations will expand our paw prints over more of Asia,” said
Tiger Airways CEO Tony Davis.
Tiger
Airways has won additional valuable traffic rights between Singapore
and Ho Chi Minh City and will increase its flights weekly from its
current four to six flights a
week from October 2005.
Mr
Davis said Cambodia was an exciting new destination because the
country, famous for its Angkor Wat ancient temple complex, has a growing
tourism industry. The
Cambodian government has also supported investment in the
country’s infrastructure development including the new airport and
terminal facilities at Phnom Penh.
