Singapore- Tiger Airlines is seeking to fly to five destinations in India and one in Sri Lanka after receiving approval from Singapore authorities, the budget carrier said Thursday. Among the cities are exotic Goa on India's west coast, the commercial centre Kozhikode in the state of Kerala, Kolkata (Calcutta), Thiruvananthapuram, Kochi and Colombo in Sri Lanka.
"We have filed the necessary applications with the authorities in India and Sri Lanka and hope to progressively add the six new points to our network from next year," The Straits Times quoted chief executive Tony Davis as saying.
Tiger's foray into India comes as competitor Jetstar Asia is scaling back flights to Bangalore after dropping Kolkata six months ago and adding flights to Indonesia.
