Scoot, Tigerair to merge, expand reservation systems
Scoot and Tigerair will finalise a merger of their reservations systems by the end of H1 2016, Scoot CE said. “This will make Tiger our biggest partner,” he said. He said the two LCCs already shared ground handling and other operational facilities and costs, and that a more complete integration of ticketing systems would bring a greater ability to capitalise on potential opportunities across the two carriers. Both LCCs are subsidiary airlines of SIA, which Wilson says is working to develop long-term working structures that are shared between the two carriers. Wilson noted the need for a strong distribution system in Asia is essential, as many travelers still prefer to use travel agents to book their travel. Wilson added that Scoot would expand its fleet of 10 Boeing 787s with another 10 787s by end July 2019. <br/>
