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

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
