Singapore's Tiger Airways to expand in India

Budget carrier Tiger Airways is looking at flying to three more destinations in India, on top of the existing routes to Chennai and Bangalore.

Tiger president and chief executive Tony Davis said to AFP that the Singapore-based airline wants to fly to Trivandrum and Kochi in Kerala state and Trichy in Tamil Nadu. "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," Davis said in a statement.

Tiger Airways, which is one-third owned by Singapore Airlines, operates flights to 33 destinations across 11 countries and territories in Asia and Australia from bases in Singapore and the Australian cities of Melbourne and Adelaide.
