Tigerair will launch direct flights between Singapore and Zhengzhou on June 28, 2016, allowing business travellers the chance to fly to the provincial capital of Henan Province in China.

Flights to Zhengzhou will operate three times weekly every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. Operating on an Airbus A320 aircraft, the outbound flight will depart from Singapore at 01:10 and arrive in Zhengzhou at 07:00, while the return leg will leave Zhengzhou at 07:55 and land in Singapore at 13:40.

“Zhengzhou is the provincial capital of Henan, one of the most populous provinces in China,” says Tigerair CEO Lee Lik Hsin. “In recent years, Zhengzhou has developed to become a key economic centre and transportation hub, with convenient air and rail links to many parts of China. This new service will provide a convenient air link for visitors from Singapore wishing to access the four ancient capitals of Zhengzhou, Kaifeng, Luoyang and Anyang situated in the province. At the same time, we are bringing Singapore closer to travellers from China, as well as promoting Singapore as a tourist destination and transit hub to Southeast Asia and Australia.” www.tigerair.com
