Tiger announces first domestic route
Jetstar Asia & Valuair, Tiger Airways
The Sydney Morning Herald reports that Tiger Airways have announced it will begin Melbourne to Darwin flights in December for as little as A$80 one way. Jetstar instantly struck back, delivering on its promise to remain the lowest priced domestic carrier. It bettered Tiger’s offer by offering flights from Melbourne to Darwin for $79 inclusive of taxes and charges. Up until now Tiger has refused to reveal when its domestic services would start or where it would fly, despite announcing Melbourne as its home base almost two months ago.
