Budget carrier Tiger Airways has entered into a "partner airline" programme with South East Asian Airlines (SEAIR) from the Philippines.
Under the agreement, SEAIR will lease two Airbus aircraft from Tiger Airways and commence services between Clark International Airport and Singapore's Changi Airport from December 16.
Tiger said more routes operated by SEAIR using these new aircraft will be added to the partner-airline programme over the coming months.
Seats will be marketed and distributed using Tiger Airways' online booking system, www.tigerairways.com.
The carrier said the resulting operational and cost efficiencies will ensure more low-fare seats are available.
The partnership will also contribute to the growth of SEAIR and the Clark gateway, benefiting customers in the Philippines and across the Asia Pacific region.
Tiger Airways has received approval from the Civil Aeronautics Board of the Philippines to lease the two Airbus aircraft to SEAIR.
Tiger Airways, meanwhile, has advanced the delivery of the two aircraft from their original delivery dates in 2015.
