JINAN in Shandong Province is the latest destination in Tigerair Singapore’s network expansion, with the LCC to launch first flights between Singapore and the provincial capital on September 16.
The weekly service leaves Singapore on Tuesdays at 12.30, arriving in Jinan at 18.40. Return flights take off from Jinan at 07.30 on Wednesdays, touching down in Singapore at 13.10.
Jinan is Tiger’s 10th destination in Greater China.
Ho Yuen Sang, managing director and COO of Tigerair, commented: “Jinan is another historical Chinese city that we’re pleased to be flying directly to from Singapore. Already an economic and cultural hub, Jinan will have a bigger role to play in Shandong’s growth through further integration with its neighbouring cities, leading to a growing affluent population who might see Singapore as a preferred holiday destination.
“Its prosperous modern city surroundings aside, Jinan also possesses some 2,000 years of abundant historical relics, and visitors from Singapore and the region can take the opportunity to relax in the acclaimed city of springs.”
To celebrate the launch of the only direct flight between Singapore and Jinan, Tigerair is offering a one-way fare of S$155 (US$124), including 15kg in pre-paid luggage allowance, a hot meal onboard, and tax from Singapore.
The deal is valid for travel between September and October 2014, available onwww.tigerair.com.
