Singapore Airlines has said it plans to start a budget carrier flying across longer distances.

The new airline will start operating within one-year, using wide-body aircraft to ferry passengers.

Other details, such as its name, planned routes and ticket prices, have not been revealed.

The budget carrier is expected to compete with long-haul, cut-price Asian airlines operated by Australia’s Qantas and Malaysia’s AirAsia.
