Take a look at this news about Tiger and SEAIR's partnership. Read on:
Tiger Airways and South East Asian Airlines (SEAIR) are expanding their “Partner Airline” programme with new daily flights between Manila Clark and Hong Kong scheduled to start on 14 March 2011.
Just like SEAIR’s existing twice-daily flights between Clark and Singapore, the new route will offer special fares to tourists, business travellers and Filipinos working abroad on the important link between the Philippines and China.
SEAIR and Tiger Airways launched their Partner Airline programme in November 2010, with flights on the Manila Clark-Singapore route. A few weeks later on 17 December 2010, the inaugural SEAIR flight took off with a full load of passengers.
Avelino Zapanta, SEAIR’s President and CEO, said, “We look forward to serving travellers between Hong Kong and the Philippines with our ultra low fares. This has been possible because, like Tiger Airways, we are disciplined in eliminating unnecessary costs. In addition, using the Philippines as our base gives us further cost savings which we pass on to our customers. With our new Hong Kong services and additional routes to be announced later, we are excited to contribute even more to our country’s employment, tourism industry and national economy.”
Tony Davis, President & Group CEO of Tiger Airways, said, “We are delighted to be expanding our Partner Airline programme with SEAir. Tiger Airways has established a strong marketing presence in both Hong Kong and the Philippines which will ensure strong sales for these new services from SEAir. As we continue to grow this programme with more routes and services we look forward to achieving greater economies of scale which means even lower fares for all travellers.”
Approvals from both the Philippines and Hong Kong authorities have already been obtained by SEAIR to operate services between Manila Clark and Hong Kong.
Seats are on sale now at a special introductory fare of US$ 35 / PHP 1500 / HK$ 270 (one way, including taxes), for travel between 14 March and 31 May 2011.

Seair acquires 3 new planes
Got across this news article from Philippine Star. Seair is expanding and is offering promo fares. Read on:
MANILA, Philippines - Southeast Asian Airlines (SEAIR) has announced that it is boosting its operations in the growing markets of Batanes, Boracay, and Romblon by adding three 32-seater Dornier 328s to its fleet starting August 2010.
The acquisition of new planes is part of the SEAIR fleet expansion program. One of the three new aircrafts will start operating in August while the two will fly in October, bringing the total fleet count to five by the end of the year.
SEAIR president Avelino Zapanta said that they have received positive responses in these destinations that translated to a 100-percent increase in sales for the first half of 2010 compared to the same period last year.
He said that by adding more planes, they will be helping in the tourism development in the Philippines, especially in the niche leisure market segment where SEAIR is a pioneer.
Featuring the latest German technology, the Dornier 328 is the fastest and most advanced jet-prop in the region. The aircraft enables SEAIR to offer the fastest flights from Manila to Boracay at just 35 minutes. It has large seat pitch and is designed with more interior volume per passenger than the 100+ seat Boeing 737, and has the feel of a big jet.
Dornier 328s are capable of short take-off and landing (STOL) in about 750 meters with full pay load and are the most appropriate for the small runways of Caticlan, Batanes, and other hard-to-reach destinations where bigger commercial planes cannot land.
Some of the major international airlines that use Dornier 328s include British Airways, KLM, United Airlines, US Airways, and Minerva Air (Alitalia).
Meanwhile, SEAIR also recently announced its special lean season promo for flights from Manila to Tablas, Romblon and vice versa. One-way airfare can be availed for as low as P 1735 ++ for travel until Oct. 15, 2010. SEAIR flies from Manila to Tablas, Romblon v.v. every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and in just 30 minutes via the Dornier 328.
Romblon is a cluster of 20 islands, with Tablas being the largest. The province offers panoramic views reminiscent of the Mediterranean islands and has some of the most breathtaking unspoiled white sand beaches in the country. Romblon is nicknamed “Marble Country” and experts say that Romblon marble is comparable to Italian marble in terms of quality.
SEAIR has also increased flights from Cebu to Caticlan and vice versa to six times a week. Flights are offered once a day except on Mondays. One-way fare is for as low as P 1235++. SEAIR is the only airline that brings passengers directly to Boracay via its complimentary transfers from Caticlan airport to Boracay and vice versa.
