The airline will also operate 3 flights per week to Kochi starting 30 October 2007. One-way fares, excluding taxes etc for both routes start from Sin$59.99/ US38.80/RP1599.

Tony Davis, CEO of Tiger Airways said “This is another milestone moment for Tiger Airways. The airline has now established an extensive network of low fare routes across the Asia Pacific region offering services from as far as Melbourne to Chennai and Guangzhou to Perth. Tiger Airways is now the only low fare airline to offer services across the whole of Asia, encompassing China, South East Asia, India and Australia.”

With these new routes, Tiger Airways now offers flights to 20 destinations across eight countries and territories in the Asia Pacific region.

The airline recently concluded an order for an additional 50 new Airbus A320 aircraft, bringing its total fleet to 70 aircraft, which it will introduce into service in Asia and within Australia over the next few years.

The company’s dual strategy of a major expansion in Asia, as well as establishing a new low fare airline in Australia, have created new opportunities to link affordable travel between key Australian cities such as Melbourne, Darwin and Perth with numerous points across Asia. 

Chennai, formally known as Madras, is located on the Coromandel Coast of the Bay of Bengal. Popularly known as the “Gateway to the South”, Chennai is a booming metropolitan city.
