Tiger eyes Hyderabad as third Indian destination
30 Oct 2008
Singapore: Singapore-based low cost carrier, Tiger Airways, currently operating services to two Indian destinations, Bangalore and Chennai, may be mulling launch of services to a third city in the country. This, according to airline sources, is very likely going to be Hyderabad, another metro in the southern part of the country.
The Singapore Changi airport-based carrier currently operates one daily flight to both Chennai and Bangalore with an A320.
The airline has been positioning itself aggressively to Indians traveling out of Singapore as a viable alternative to full service carriers, such as Air India and Singapore International Airlines.
Tiger Airways now flies to more than 25 destinations across 9 countries in the Asia-Pacific region with a fleet of brand new A320 aircraft. Located at its hub in Singapore's Changi Airport, Tiger is currently the largest low-cost airline operating out of Singapore in terms of passengers carried.
