Tiger to fly to three new Indian destinations

The airline, which currently serves two destinations in south India from Singapore, is exploring flying to Trichy in Tamil Nadu and to Trivandrum and Kochi in Kerala state.

Tiger Airways recently received its second owned aircraft and now has an expanded fleet of 19 to serve more travelers and destinations. This will allow Tiger Airways to pass savings to customers through low air fares as owning aircraft means further reduction in operating costs.

President and CEO Tony Davis said, "Besides destinations in Greater China such as Shantou, Taiwan, Xiamen and Hangzhou, we are also exploring the potential of serving more travelers between India and Singapore. As the world’s second most populous country, India is a natural consideration for us to expand our low-fare offering. We have had numerous requests from passengers to fly to more Indian destinations; with this encouragement, we plan to commence discussions with the airports and authorities."

Tiger Airways currently flies to Bangalore and Chennai.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
