South East Asia airline to take off

THAI TIGER is a name that travellers within and into South East Asia will get to know over the coming months, and into the future.  Thai Airlines, Thailand’s flag carrier, is teaming up with Singapore’s budget operator Tiger Airways to launch a low-cost airline capitalising on the growing Asian low cost requirement.  The new airline will be based in Bangkok and focus on destinations within a five-hour flying radius, putting the growing tourist and intra-regional business markets of China, India and Indonesia firmly within its target area.  A planned start date of 1 February 2011 has been announced. www.thaiairways.com www.tigerairways.com
