If you haven’t heard, Tigerair will stop existing this year.

They’re merging with Scoot airline and the brand will cease operations on 25 July 2017.

So what happens to those people who hold tickets with Tigerair? Are their tickets still valid? 

Here are 8 changes to your Tigerair booking after the merger you got to know. Especially if you’re going on a holiday with Tigerair this year end!

1. Flight Schedules For Tigerair Will Remain The Same Despite Brand Merge

So you’ve bought air tickets from Tigerair for flights after 25 July 2017. What’s going to happen to those tickets?

Don’t worry, while the brand might no longer exist, flight departure and arrival date and time will remain the same.

2. Tigerair Branded Itinerary Will Still Be Accepted as Proof Of Booking

Scoot will accept all Tigerair-branded itinerary (like the one above) as proof of booking for flight check-ins.
