Tigerair Singapore to merge with Scoot

There’s been feverish activity behind the scenes the past two months as Tigerair and Scoot work towards the Tigerair-Scoot merger, due to happen on 25th July 2017. They’ve been working to integrate reservation systems, flight schedules and connections, conditions of carriage, check-in counters and call centres. Everything is now done and almost ready to go.

Tigerair-Scoot merger – what it means

The merger only affects Tigerair Singapore. It does not include Tigerair Australia, which is managed by the Virgin Group as a separate entity. So travellers in Australia using Tigerair, will have no changes to bookings etc.

• Flight schedules (departure/arrival dates and times) will remain unchanged.
• Passengers with connections to Scoot flights will receive an email beforehand (from Scoot or your travel agency) with details of the updated itinerary and new Scoot designator code (TR). If you have not received the email notification by 23rd Jul 2017, please contact the Tigerair Call Centre.

Changes to aircraft

 

Scoot currently flies an all B787 Dreamliner fleet and Tigerair flies Airbus 320 aircraft. Some routes will utilise both types of aircraft. The Tigerair Airbus aircraft will be repainted in Scoot livery in stages, but you can identify which one will be used during booking:
