SINGAPORE AIR TO SET UP BUDGET LONG-HAUL CARRIER

May 25, 2011


Singapore Airlines said on Wednesday it will set up a low-fare airline operating wide-body aircraft on medium and long-haul routes within the next 12 months.


The move comes as the premium carrier faces competition from other players in Asia and the Middle East catering to high-end passengers as well fast-expanding budget airlines in Asia.


Singapore Airlines has a stake in Singapore-based budget carrier Tiger Airways and owns regional carrier SilkAir.
