Tiger Airways starts flights to India from October

Singapore: Tiger Airways' delayed Big Bang entry into India is finally taking off this October.
The budget carrier will start by jetting off to two cities - the popular Chennai in the south, and Kochi in the south-western state of Kerala.
Tiger said this latest foray will consolidate its position as the only low cost carrier offering services across the whole of Asia from China to Australia.
With the addition of populous India to its network, Tiger said it now has a potential three billion passengers from the region.
From October, it will fly four times a week to Chennai and three times a week to Kochi.
Tiger has already started selling tickets for these destinations on its website.
Return fares start at S$300 plus taxes, which is less than half of what main service carriers are offering.
Tiger also has air rights for four other Indian cities - Goa, Trivandrum, Kolkatta and Kozhikode - and will probably add more services there within the next 12 months. The carrier is also eyeing expanding its services to Bangalore and Hyderabad, although it does not have air rights for these cities right now.
