Thousands join airline running event
Nearly ten thousand people participated in an athletics event on Saturday held by TigerairTaiwan in the hope of winning free tickets from the airline. TigerairTaiwan, a joint-venture between Taiwan’s China Airlines and Singapore’s Tiger Airways, offered race-finishers the chance to win one of 100 tickets to fly to Macau, Osaka or Tokyo from Kaohsiung, Taiwan. In addition to the ticket draw, all event participants received a discount coupon that can be used when purchasing any flight through the airline.
