First in Asia: Tiger launches direct flight to Colombo

Tight budget need not to stop you from traveling around Colombo.

Tiger Airways is the first regional low cost carrier to fly to Colombo.

Tiger Airways, Singapore’s leading low-cost carrier, launched the inaugural direct service between Colombo and Singapore today.

TR2572 arrived in Colombo at 2205hrs to mark the first regional low-cost flight between Colombo and Singapore.

With Tiger Airways Singapore’s strong track record – with a near 100% flight completion in 2011, punctuality rate of over 85%, a young fleet of under three years of age, and great value offerings, the Airline expects the new service to be well-received by travellers.

“We are focussed on building our network and connectivity in the region. Tiger Airways’ direct service between Colombo and Singapore will provide more options at great value fares for leisure and business travellers,” said Dave Perring, Tiger Airways’ Commercial Director. “Singapore is now a hop away for Sri Lankans wanting to explore the sights and sounds of the garden city. Likewise, the rich history and natural beauty of Sri Lanka is within easy reach.”

Tiger Airways operates a unique low-cost business model that involves removing non-essential costs, ensuring that customers pay only for what they actually need, while maintaining the highest standard of safety, security and punctuality.

Tickets are now available from SGD 98 one-way (Singapore to Colombo) all-inclusive and LKR 8,600 one-way (Colombo to Singapore) all inclusive. Tiger Airways operates the service three times a week on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
