Tigerair is continuing its flight expansion plans during winter this year. On 29 October 2013, it begins to operate twice-weekly scheduled flights to Lijiang, Yunnan Province in China, besides resuming direct flights to Chiang Mai (daily from 2 November 2013) and Langkawi (on 8 November 2013). Lijiang is Tigerair's fourth China destination after Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Haikou.
The inaugural Lijiang flight from Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 2 takes place at 9.20 am on 29 October under Tigerair flight code TR2922. It arrives in Lijiang at 1.25 pm before departing for Singapore at 2.20 pm, stopping over in Chiang Rai for refueling that lasts for 35 minutes and arriving in Singapore later at 7.45 pm under TR2923.
