At the maiden flight launch event, Tigerair Taiwan announced that the "Hao Jiao Xiang Qi" duo from the Pulingong music group is its annual brand ambassador. Starting now, advertisements featuring Haozi and A-Xiang will be heavily broadcast. In addition to print and online ads, the public can see the "Hao Jiao Xiang Qi" backpacker taxi fleet zipping through streets and alleys, and hear them "speaking up" for Tigerair Taiwan on the radio, fully showcasing Tigerair Taiwan’s new vibrant proposition of warmth, sincerity, and enthusiasm, leading travelers on new journeys.

In addition, Tigerair Taiwan also specially displayed and offered samples of its seasonal in-flight meals to guests present. Unlike other carriers that sell pre-packaged meals, Tigerair Taiwan’s in-flight cuisine such as "Nostalgic Spare Ribs Rice," "Pumpkin Rice Noodles," and "Taiwanese Braised Pork Rice" are all freshly prepared by the airline's catering service, distinctly different from the vacuum-packed meals commonly used by foreign low-cost airlines. A set of authentic Taiwanese meal combos (main dish plus drink) starts from just TWD 250. The cabin also offers a variety of light meals (salads, sandwiches), instant noodles, snacks, and drinks, giving passengers multiple choices they can freely purchase. Additionally, unlike other foreign low-cost airlines operating in Taiwan, Tigerair Taiwan’s customer service hotline will be staffed by personnel who speak fluent Mandarin, Taiwanese, and English to serve passengers. The launch of Tigerair Taiwan can truly be described as an “authentically Taiwanese takeoff.”
It’s worth mentioning that every Tigerair Taiwan aircraft will feature a "Taiwan" livery. The livery theme is “The Leaping Heart Above Formosa’s Clouds,” which combines calligraphic brushstrokes with rounded English fonts to spell out the name Taiwan, showcasing Taiwan’s cultural heritage and the vitality of the new generation. It symbolizes Tigerair Taiwan’s brand positioning that blends international professionalism with local approachability. The outline of Taiwan’s main island is specially paired with clouds in the sky to form the shape of a “T,” symbolizing Tigerair Taiwan’s ambition to take off from Taiwan, soar through the skies, and explore the world. In terms of color scheme, Tigerair Taiwan’s corporate standard bright orange is used as the base, creating a warm gradient that conveys the brand’s personality of “warmth, sincerity, and enthusiasm,” eventually settling into a steady earth tone to express the grounded determination of Tigerair Taiwan to deepen its roots in Taiwan.

Minister Shen Chi of the Civil Aeronautics Administration, Ministry of Transportation and Communications, said in his speech at the event that Tigerair Taiwan is Taiwan’s first low-cost (budget) airline. He hopes that with this new type of air service, passengers can “pay what you want, buy what you need,” and that the Taiwanese cuisine, customer service, and promotions on board all demonstrate the airline’s ambition. He hopes Tigerair Taiwan will promote the spirit of low-cost aviation and enjoy continued success.
