On 18 May 2016, Singapore Airlines established Budget Aviation Holdings, a holding company to own and manage its budget airlines Scoot and Tiger Airways following the delisting of Tiger Airways from the Singapore Stock Exchange in response to the complete takeover of Tigerair by Singapore Airlines. Tigerair merged with Scoot on 25 July 2017, retaining its air operator's certificate while operating under the Scoot brand.
