  "account": "Dohop, the pioneering travel technology firm, has entered into an agreement with Tigerair Taiwan to introduce the innovative tigerhop platform, now accessible across Tigerair Taiwan's online platforms. This collaboration, now operational with Singapore-based airline Scoot, grants Tigerair Taiwan's customers a broader range of travel possibilities primarily within North Asia and a new route to Singapore. Through tigerhop, Tigerair Taiwan customers can conveniently book multi-airline journeys, combining their own flights with those of partner airlines in a seamless transaction. The tigerhop platform utilizes Dohop's RetailConnect technology, enabling Tigerair Taiwan to offer multi-carrier itineraries that merge their own services with those of connected airlines.\n\nInitially, tigerhop will facilitate connections from Taipei and Da Nang to Singapore via Scoot, and from Singapore to Taoyuan International Airport onward to destinations like Akita, Hanamaki, and Tottori. By deploying tigerhop, Tigerair Taiwan underscores the potential of Connected Travel for airlines to expand their networks without the financial burden and complexity of traditional bilateral interlining arrangements. The launch of tigerhop in partnership with Scoot offers Taiwanese travelers more destinations via Tigerair Taiwan's own channels, while enabling the airline to capture bookings that might otherwise be lost to online travel agencies (OTAs). With more airlines set to join the platform in the coming months, tigerhop also signifies a significant expansion of Dohop's footprint in Asia.\n\nFor Tigerair Taiwan, this partnership introduces additional carrier connections without the need for intricate interline or codeshare agreements, thereby enhancing its commercial reach with minimal technical investment. By selling these itineraries under its own brand through tigerhop, Tigerair Taiwan can effectively compete with online travel agents (OTAs) while providing passengers with access to Dohop's ConnectSure disruption support and travel protection services. Joyce Huang, Chairperson of Tigerair Taiwan, expressed enthusiasm about collaborating with Dohop to broaden the airline's international reach without traditional interline structures while adhering to its commitment to passenger satisfaction.\n\nThe Tigerair Taiwan launch further solidifies Dohop's presence in Asia, where its platforms are already operational with Scoot, Thai Vietjet, Citilink, and Air India Express, with additional platforms in development. These deployments reflect the increasing demand among Asian carriers for flexible connectivity solutions that can integrate into existing retail channels without the necessity of individual codeshare or bilateral interline agreements. This trend aligns with the industry's broader shift towards modular, multi-carrier connectivity and modern retail practices.
