Tiger Airways Private Limited is a low-cost airline based in Singapore, with its primary hub at Singapore Changi Airport. Incorporated in September 2003, it is currently the largest low-cost airline operating out of Singapore in terms of passengers carried. In 2006, the airline flew 1.2 million passengers, a growth of 75% from the previous year.

On 9 February 2007, Tiger Airways formally announced that it hoped to become Australia’s third full scale domestic airline, competing directly with Virgin Blue and Qantas/Jetstar. Tiger Airways Australia will use their Australian domestic network to support an expanded international presence with the current gateways of Darwin and Perth, expanded to include Melbourne. On 16 March 2007, the airline received approval from Australian authorities to establish the new subsidiary, and established Tiger Airways Australia Pty Ltd on the same day. Tiger Airways Australia began operations on November 23 2007, and its route network (current and pending) already spans across every state and territory in the country.
