Tiger Airways increases Malaysia distribution network with e-pay

Customers in Malaysia can pay cash at over 14,000 e-pay outlets, beginning with 4,000 Petronas kiosks.

Tiger Airways is expanding its distribution network in Malaysia by more than 14,000 times with the introduction of epay. Customers in Malaysia now have a convenient way to pay cash for their Tiger Airways flights, according to a Tiger Airways report.

Rosalynn Tay, Managing Director of Tiger Airways Singapore, said, “Our customers in Malaysia have been great supporters of our low, low fares. With e-pay, we bring a cash payment mode right to their doorsteps, making it more convenient for them to buy Tiger flights. We look forward to serving more passengers from Malaysia with our powerful combination of low fares, convenience, and useful options such as Luggage UpsizeTM and
boardmefirstTM.

Payment for Tiger Airways flights between Malaysia and Singapore can now be made using e-pay at the 4,000 Petronas kiosks across Malaysia. Over the next few months, this payment option will be rolled out to the remaining 10,000 e-pay outlets in convenience stores, pharmacies, and other retail outlets. After making bookings online, customers in Malaysia only need to select e-pay as the preferred payment method, and make payment at an epay outlet within 6 hours.

To celebrate this megafold increase in its Malaysia distribution channel, Tiger Airways is offering promotional fares on its Malaysia routes. Kuala Lumpur, Kuching and Penang flights are on sale from now to 18 August 2010, from only S$0.09 plus taxes.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
