Singapore Airlines backed budget carriers Scoot and Tigerair will continue their integration and transition to a single brand and operating license next year.
Full integration using the Scoot brand name is targeted by mid to end 2017.
It will involve integration of flight scheduling, and moving to a common Scoot branded website, contact centre and check-in counters, said Singapore Airlines CEO and Budget Aviation Holdings chairman, Goh Choon Phong.
Budget Aviation Holdings is the new entity established earlier this year which owns and manages the carriers.
"Scoot and Tigerair have made good progress in their integration since the establishment of Budget Aviation Holdings as a common holding company in May," said Goh.
"The integration has already led to commercial and operational synergies between Scoot and Tigerair that are providing growth opportunities for both airlines, an example being Scoot’s plan to launch its first European service, to Athens, next year."
"The Tigerair business, which has an established network and market presence in Southeast Asia, will benefit from the strength of Scoot’s brand for the next phase of its growth," added Budget Aviation Holdings CEO Lee Lik Hsin.
