Tiger Airways, SEAIR launches third Manila Clark-Macau route

SEAIR will operate daily flights from Manila to Macau from 27 May 2011.

According to Tiger Airways and SEAIR, the new route will also offer low fares to tourists, business travellers and Filipinos working abroad on the important link between the Philippines and China.

Under the “Partner Airline” programme, SEAIR operates short-haul flights on Airbus aircraft leased from Tiger Airways.

Avelino Zapanta, SEAIR’s President and CEO, said, “Flying between the Philippines and Macau will be a breeze with our ultra low fares. Our other customers can also look forward to more savings, as we get greater economies of scale from more international routes. At the same time, we are delighted to make greater contributions to our country’s employment, tourism and economy.”

Tony Davis, President & Group CEO of Tiger Airways, said, “We are delighted with the growth of our Partner Airline programme with SEAIR. We also look forward to developing our collaboration by acquiring a 32.5% equity stake in SEAIR. Combining Tiger Airways’ successful business model with SEAIR’s established presence in the Philippines will benefit its people and travellers with more low fares and employment opportunities.”

Approvals from both the Philippines and Macau authorities have already been obtained by SEAIR to operate services between Manila (Clark) and Macau.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
