Tiger Airways launches first service to India

Singapore: Budget carrier Tiger Airways launched its first flight to India and a fifth service to southern China from its Singapore base on Sunday.
The Singapore Airlines-backed Tiger broadened its international network with the flight to the southern Indian city of Chennai and the new service to Xiamen.
"These new routes are a significant opportunity for Tiger Airways to bring affordable travel to Asia's fast growing markets of India and China," said chief executive officer Tony Davis.
The Xiamen service seals the carrier's "position as the largest international low fare airline to serve China," Davis said.
Tiger Airways is the only budget airline to offer services across the "whole of Asia-Pacific, encompassing China, South-East Asia, India and Australia," he added.
