Indian international fliers can expect fares on the India-Singapore route and beyond to fall by about 15% with the merger of Tigerair and Scoot, both budget carriers owned by Singapore Airlines. Nine months after Scoot and Tigerair announced their intention to pursue a single brand and operating licence under the Scoot brand, all Tigerair flights out of India started operating under Scoot on Tuesday.

“There will be two key things for a consumer — first, fares are expected to come down by 15% due to merged operations of both the airlines and passengers will also be saved from the hassle of flying and connecting through the network of two different airlines,” Bharath Mahadevan, country head, India, at Scoot, told ET on Tuesday.  Xavier Ouellet Womens Jersey
