Singapore Airlines’ low-cost subsidiaries Scoot and Tigerair will merge on July 25, operating as a single entity under the Scoot namesake. Under the new framework, Scoot will take over Tigerair’s 23 Airbus A320. The airline has begun repainting the airplanes in Scoot’s livery and expects to complete the process by the middle of next year. However, Scoot will adopt Tigerair’s ‘TR’ IATA designator code.
