Tiger Airways launches Seat Sale in Australia

Tiger Airways is to commence flying between Melbourne and Newcastle, Hobart and Canberra from the start of 2008. One-way fares start from a low $9.95 inclusive of taxes and charges.

“This new service by Tiger Airways will provide the people of the ACT and surrounding region with consistently low cost airfares. Not everyone who flies to Canberra has an expense account,” said Tiger Airways CEO Tony Davis.

“Newcastle is an attractive alternative for tourists with its wine and food experiences and also gives travelers who live in the northern suburbs of Sydney a real low fare alternative to trudging through the traffic to Mascot.” Davis added.

Due to the impressive response to its services to Launceston, Tiger Airways will also commence services to Hobart from 15 January.
