SINGAPORE budget carrier Tiger Airways said on Tuesday it was looking at flying to three more destinations in India in addition to Chennai and Bangalore.Tiger president and chief executive Tony Davis said the airline wants to fly to Trivandrum and Kochi in Kerala state and Trichy in Tamil Nadu.
'As the world's second most populous country, India is a natural consideration for us to expand our low-fare offering,' Mr Davis said in a statement.
'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.'
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. -- AFP
