NTCB welcomes additional route from Singapore

DARWIN The Northern Territory Convention Bureau (NCTB) has warmly welcomed news that Singapore low-cost carrier Tiger Airways will begin Singapore-Darwin services from December 19, 2005.

The services will result in an extra 720 seats per week between Singapore and Darwin. "Darwin's proximity to Asia has always been a major selling point for attracting Asian, Asia Pacific and international meetings and incentives to the Northern Territory," NTCB manager Lynn Fairbrass said. She added: "With the Darwin Convention and Exhibition Centre under construction, Darwin and the NT will now be on the top of the list for many event planners."
