Tiger Airways (a joint venture between Singapore airlines and Temasek Holdings) has been given permission to fly into six Indian cities -- Chennai, Goa, Kozhikode, Trivandrum, Kolkata and Cochin -- from Singapore.
Chennai has already been launched. If newspaper reports are to be believed, Indonesia's Lion Air, United Arab Emirates's Ras Al Khaima (RAK) Airlines and Saudi Arabia's Sama Airways are looking at or are keen to fly to various cities in India to fly passengers out to different destinations across the globe.
