Tiger Airways gets air permit from India
Tiger Airways has received an air permit from India to operate flights from Singapore to Indian destinations, the Singapore budget carrier said Monday.
The budget carrier has already been granted rights to fly from the city-state to six destinations in India including Chennai, Goa and Kolkata, it said in a statement.
Tiger Airways chief executive Tony Davis said the new routes to India "represent another significant opportunity to grow our business in Asia." Tiger, which began flying in 2004, flies from Singapore to destinations throughout Southeast Asia and to China.
It also flies to Perth and Darwin in Australia.
The budget carrier is owned by four shareholders, including Singapore Airlines which has a 49 percent stake and state-linked Singapore investment firm Temasek Holdings with 11 per cent.
