Singapore Airlines announced that it will establish a no-frills low-cost carrier catering to budget-conscious travelers, set to be operational within a year.
The proposed new airline will be wholly owned by Singapore Airlines but will be operated independently and managed separately.
The new carrier is set to compete Jetstar Airways, the low-cost unit of Australia’s Qantas Airways, and AirAsiaX, the longer-haul unit of Malaysia’s AirAsia, for routes beyond the reach of traditional low-cost carriers that don’t fly for more than five hours.
Campbell Wilson, who has been with Singapore Airlines for more than 15 years, was recently appointed as founding CEO of the low-cost airline whose name is yet to be announced.
