Scoot, Tigerair Singapore alliance wins ATI approval

摘要

The Competition Commission of Singapore (CCS) granted anti-trust immunity (ATI) to the alliance agreed between Singapore-based budget carriers Scoot and Tigerair Singapore last December. The ATI allows the two carriers to coordinate schedules and pricing on routes operated by both airlines. The two carriers operate complementary networks, with Tigerair focusing on shorter-haul routes and Scoot operating in the medium-long haul arena. The two airlines will also collaborate on connecting traffic via Singapore Changi Airport, which will afford customers from Scoot's network in China streamlined connection onto Tigerair's network in Southeast Asia and India. At the same time, Tigerair customers will have more streamlined access to Scoot's choice of medium-haul destinations.
