Tiger Airways was a low-cost carrier headquartered in Singapore, founded in 2003 and commencing operations in 2004. It operated as a budget airline offering short-haul flights across Southeast Asia and Australia, competing in the rapidly growing regional low-cost market. The airline was a subsidiary of Singapore Airlines and expanded its operations to include an Australian arm, Tiger Airways Australia, which launched in 2007. At its peak, Tiger Airways served dozens of destinations across the Asia-Pacific region with a focus on keeping fares low through a no-frills service model. In 2016, Tiger Airways was rebranded as Scoot following its merger with Scoot, Singapore Airlines' other low-cost subsidiary. The combined carrier retained the Scoot brand and IATA code TR, effectively ending the Tiger Airways identity.
