BUDGET carrier Tigerair yesterday announced it will launch a four-times-weekly direct service from Singapore to Ipoh, Malaysia’s fourth-largest city.
The new service will be operated on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays via an Airbus A320 aircraft, starting May 29 and subject to regulatory approval. Tickets for the new service will go on sale from April 20.
Tigerair CEO, Lee Lik Hsin, said: “We are excited to add Ipoh to our growing Asia network and be the first to operate jet flights in Ipoh. Tigerair already enjoys a significant presence in Malaysia and this addition will help meet demand for both leisure and business travel between Singapore and Malaysia.”
Ipoh will be Tigerair’s fourth Malaysian destination which currently comprises Kuala Lumpur, Langkawi and Penang.
