HONG KONG – Tiger Airways brings in valued travel options to Indonesia with its launch of direct service between Hong Kong and Jakarta.

From 25 July 2013, Tiger Airways will fly to the capital of Indonesia four times weekly on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, with an increase to daily flights from September onwards.

“We are excited that Tiger Airways is the first low cost carrier flying direct from Hong Kong to Jakarta, one of Asia’s fastest growing economies. Our new service aims to offer best value in travel to both business travellers and Indonesian workers in Hong Kong. The competitive pricing, frequent schedule and value-added services on demand makes Tiger Airways’ flight offerings unique and certainly more cost effective,” says Kaneswaran Avili, Commercial Director, Tiger Airways Singapore.

“Popular destinations like Bali are now more accessible via Jakarta to Hong Kong holidaymakers,” added Mr Avili.
