Singapore's Tigerair, Scoot finalise merger
SIA has dropped its short-haul LCC brand Tigerair, merging the airline into mid- to long-haul LCC Scoot. “With this final milestone in the integration process, the airlines will begin operating under a common license…the flight designator code for Scoot flights will be changed from the current TZ to TR, the code currently used for Tigerair flights. All flight schedules remain unchanged,” Scoot and Tigerair parent company Budget Aviation Holdings said. The two LCCs were brought together as subsidiaries of BAH in May 2016 with a view to closer cooperation. BAH is, in turn, 100% owned by SIA Group. Since then, the two airlines have been working to integrate their reservation systems, flight schedules and connections, conditions of carriage, check-in counters and call centres. Those integrations have now been completed. <br/>
