Tiger Airways offers Singapore-Vietnam flights at $25

Singapore-based budget carrier Tiger Airways will offer a fare of US $25 for a one-way ticket from Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi to Singapore in early April.

The discount fare is up to 80% cheaper than existing ones, said the carrier CEO Tony Davis at a press conference in Ho Chi Minh City last week.

Mr Davis said the airline had the capacity to service the route, after taking delivery of two more aircraft this month to bring its fleet to four.

Tiger Airways opened an office in the Vietnamese capital Hanoi in late January.
