Well not that in isolation as such, but when JQ has a flight at the much much better time of 1035, you can see why.

ADL-CBR is their strongest performing route ex ADL so it would be strange indeed...

Tiger to ditch flights out of Canberra
Matt O'Sullivan
August 10, 2009

TIGER Airways is expected to stop flying out of Canberra as early as October, as it refocuses on taking on Qantas and Virgin Blue on the country's busiest route, between Sydney and Melbourne.

The low-cost airline is not offering flights between Canberra and either Melbourne or Adelaide after early October. Asked about its plans for Canberra, Tiger's managing director Shelley Roberts would only say that it was reviewing its services to and from the capital city.

But industry insiders expect the Singapore Airlines-backed carrier to pull out of Canberra.

Tiger launched up to four services a day between Sydney and Melbourne last month.

The airline has since increased flights to as many as nine a day on the higher-yielding route and also launched daily services between Sydney and Adelaide. Qantas' low-cost subsidiary Jetstar has responded by doubling its services between Sydney and Adelaide.

Macquarie Equities has said that Tiger's increase in the share of the Melbourne-Sydney route to 10 per cent was likely to stifle any near-term recovery in airlines' yields. But other analysts have questioned how long Tiger will accept losses while trying to establish itself on the route.

CBR-ADL and CBR-MEL flights are now available for booking from end october onwards.

Any word on ADL-PER for TT? Those flights are still not showing in the booking engine post October. Although a back of the clock flight, at least it utilises the aircraft.

Something else needs to give way for ADL-CBR to start.

They must have been negotiating with CBR quite heavily, cause it was gone, and now they want it back...

I believe the rotations are MEL-CBR-ADL-CBR-MEL (on the days the ADL flight operates) , presumably as there is no capacity left in the 2 ADL-based aircraft.

Does anyone have any information yet regarding TT's ADL-PER services? The flight doesn't seem to be in their schedules since the start of the summer timetable, but the flight is still showing on the route map. Tiger are usually fairly fast at updating their route maps.

With increased MEL-SYD and ADL-SYD services I suspect the plane may be used for those, but as ADL-PER-ADL was a back of the clock service they could have the plane back in ADL from PER in time for its first flight of the day. Was the unfriendly scheduling a factor in its demise, or do they plan to keep the service and still determining its reintroduction?

It was the biggest failure of them all, who flies a 2am PER-ADL? Certainly not me... Unless one of the other unpopular routes they fly from Adelaide like Hobart/Canberra is also a deemed a failure, I dont think you will see another striped cat on this route..
