Direct Goa - Singapore flights soon

Goans could soon be flying directly to Singapore, the smallest country in South-East Asia which has the highest standard of living in Asia. Barely days after Sri Lankan Airlines began its bi-weekly Goa-Colombo-Goa flight, Singapore’s Tiger Airways has announced plans to fly to Goa and four other destinations in India by 2007. Tony Davis, the chief executive of the Singapore-based budget carrier, said that Tiger Airways had already filed necessary applications with the India authorities and Sri Lanka and was keen to start flights from next year.

Tiger Airways is eager to fly to Goa, Kolkata, Thiruvananthapuram, Kochi, and Kozhikode, besides Colombo in Sri Lanka. According to Davis, Singapore’s aviation authorities have already given Tiger Airways permission to fly to the six destinations. “We have had rights to Kolkata for some time but we wanted to go into India in a meaningful way with multiple destinations instead of launching an isolated point,” he said.
