Tiger Airways to Double Daily Flights between Sydney and Gold Coast

Tiger Airways has confirmed it will double the number of daily flights between Sydney and the Gold Coast of Australia. The announcement comes just weeks after doubling the number of flights to Sydney from Melbourne and Adelaide.

Tiger Airways Australia Managing Director, Shelley Roberts, said demand for Tiger Airways’ consistently low fares across Australia has been “phenomenal - evidenced by the continued growth and expansion of Tiger Airways Australia at a time when so many competitors are cutting back and streamlining.”

Last week, Tiger Airways announced a new aircraft for Australia to be based in Adelaide from early 2010 and an increase in flights from Melbourne to popular destinations Hobart, Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast and Adelaide.

Now, the airline is adding an additional daily flight between Sydney and Gold Coast, with fares on sale from just A$39 for flights commencing from early February 2010.

“With the additional flights between Sydney and Gold Coast, Tiger Airways will be flying 162 weekly services through Sydney from early 2010. That’s equivalent to over 1.5 million seats annually to/from Sydney, making Sydney one of our top domestic destinations - a ‘virtual base’ for Tiger,” Ms Roberts said.

Tiger Airways commenced flying into Sydney from Melbourne on 3 July 2009, with four flights daily and commenced daily flights between Adelaide and Sydney on 31 July 2009.

Flights on the new Sydney – Gold Coast route commence from 15 December 2009 with one daily flight. Fares are on sale now from just A$39 one way. Two daily flights on the Sydney – Gold Coast route commence from 5 February 2010.
