Taipei, July 13 (CNA) Tigerair Taiwan, a joint venture between Taiwan’s China Airlines and Singapore’s Tiger Airways, said Monday it will launch flights between Kaohsiung in southern Taiwan and Tokyo (Narita) on Sept. 1 to capitalize on increasing interest in travel between Taiwan and Japan. The new daily flight will depart Kaohsiung at 3:20 p.m. and leave from Tokyo on the return leg at 12:10 p.m. (Japan time), the airline said. Tokyo will be Tigerair Taiwan’s third international destination from Kaohsiung, after the budget carrier launched flights from the southern Taiwan city to Macau last December and to Osaka earlier this month.
