[Title] => SIA’s budget airline, Tiger Airways, set to capture Asian budget travel market
[Summary] => Singapore Airlines’ (SIA) budget airline, Tiger Airways, is set to capture the still untapped budget travel market.
In a press briefing Monday night before its inaugural flight to Clark, Pampanga, Tiger Airways president and chief executive officer Tony Davis assured that it is not out to grab market share from regular commercial airlines.
Instead, according to Davis, Tiger Airways is set to "grow" the market by tapping budget travelers who could not, otherwise, afford the regular commercial airfares.
