Just after rebranding from South East Asian Airlines (SEAIR) into Tigerair, Tigerair Philippines is planning to make Cebu into one of its hubs in the Philippines.

According to president and CEO Olive Ramos, Tigerair Philippines which is an affiliate of Singapore-based Tigerair is planning to mount additional international and domestic flights to and from Cebu.


 
          Local carrier, South East Asian Airlines or SEAIR has rebranded itself as Tigerair Philippines. Tiger Airways Ltd. (now Tigerair) completed its acquisition of a 40% stake in SEAIR in August 2012.

         SEAIR aircraft will now be painted in Tigerair's updated livery which was revealed to the public just last July 3, 2013. The first aircraft, an Airbus A319-132 (RP-C5320) arrived at the Clark International Airport this morning and was welcomed with a water salute.
