Tigerair launches Singapore direct flights to Guilin and Nanning

Two new China routes coming in November.

Tigerair announced that in November it will be launching direct flights for Singaporean visitors to two southern Chinese cities, Guilin and Nanning.

The twice-weekly flights to Nanning will commence 1 November and Tigerair will operate a once-weekly flight to Guilin from 15 November. The direct flights will take under four hours, and aims to provide greater accessibility and convenience for passengers. In addition, passengers from China can also connect via Singapore’s award-winning Changi Airport onto other regional destinations in Tigerair’s growing network.

“With its scenic landscapes, Guilin has captured the hearts of many visitors from Singapore and it is a well-known and loved destination for Singaporeans," said Ho Yuen Sang, Managing Director and Chief Operating Officer of Tigerair.

"Currently Singaporeans make up the seventh largest group of tourists to Guilin and with the added convenience of a direct flight from Singapore; we hope more Singaporeans will opt to visit Guilin and Nanning in the coming months,” 

Renowned for its stunning limestone sceneries and its ethereal landscape of mountains and lakes, Guilin is one of China’s most popular cities, and Singapore visitors make up the seventh largest group in terms of tourist numbers.

Nanning on the other hand provides visitors a snapshot of a modern Green City in China. The capital city of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Nanning is the political, economic and cultural centre of the region with a well-connected and highly developed transport network linking leisure and business travellers to other parts of China.
