Terminal
4 at Melbourne Airport, the home of Tiger Airways' Australian
operations, was opened by Minister Theophanous today with Tony Davis, CEO of the Tiger Airways Group and Chris Woodruff, CEO of Melbourne Airport.
Passengers will benefit from the straightforward check-in and boarding process with
Tiger Airways’ aircraft parked right up front of the terminal. Terminal Four is conveniently
located immediately adjacent to the other terminals so passengers can be off the plane
and into their cars in minutes.
Although more basic than Melbourne Airport’s existing terminals, Terminal Four will be
equipped with retail and convenience facilities to cater to passengers’ requirements. The
uncluttered structure will bring travel back to the basics by paring down unnecessary
frills such as business lounges and aerobridges to keep costs low, but provide a safe
and completely efficient service with consistently low fares.
“I
would like to commend Melbourne Airport in the way in which they have ensured that
T4 was finished on time, on budget and on specification. It definitely shows that Tiger
Airways made the right choice in selecting Melbourne to be its home base” Tony Davis
said.
