Tiger Airways today announced that on 1 December 2008 Tiger Airways is the first out of the

Rosalynn Tay, Managing Director of Tiger Airways Singapore, said, "This is a huge milestone
in Asian low fare aviation, and at Tiger Airways we're very proud to be leading the way once
again. Working at Tiger Airways is living the low fare dream. Where else in the world could I
make almost 500,000 people a year so happy with so many low fares, at such great times. This
huge increase in flights between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore means one thing for travellers --
lots more Tiger Airways' famous low fares."

matched with Tiger Airways' solid on time performance make the choice simple -- fly Tiger fly
often!

there on-time with lots of cash to spare. So whether you are a business man, a grandmother
visiting your relatives, or a hip young thing looking for adventure our best deals and most
Tiger Airways would not be able to announce its revolutionary increase in capacity between
Singapore and Kuala Lumpur without the significant achievements of both governments
concerned.
Rosalynn Tay said, "I would like to congratulate the forward thinking of the Singapore and
Malaysian governments and aviation authorities in their progression of a liberalisation agenda
that benefits both economies. By meeting this liberalisation milestone ahead of the ASEAN
roadmap both countries are acknowledged around the world in a job well done. The customer
is the big winner here. "
Tiger Airways is looking forward to the next stage of liberalization to other cities in Malaysia
as well as encouraging other countries in the region to follow Singapore and Malaysia's lead.
