Tiger Announces Avalon - Gold Coast, Adelaide & Perth Services

I would say they will add the AVV-SYD.

SYD? ADL? CNS? PER? The possiblities are endless...

Hopefully not PER...otherwise the 10% Jetstar price beat will be useless for MEL flights!

IMHO, it would be silly to add a SYD service as there are four JQ flights already and the yields are fairly low. I am sure they don't want to drive it any lower.

Actually, if you look at the TT website very carefully (scroll down towards the bottom of the page where all the terms and conditions are), it states that the next route from AVV would be CNS.

Interstingly, the above asteriks are placed next to the OOL flights from AVV and the CNS flights from MEL. Does this mean TT is shifting their CNS flights from MEL to AVV?

Ricky T,

I think the wording "Flights to and from Cairns and Melbourne - Avalon are subject to regulatory approval" is referring any/all flights to/from both destinations separately and not as a joint city pair.

i.e.
Flights to and from Cairns and flights to and from Melbourne - Avalon are subject to regulatory approval (irrespective of where the flights to and from these airports originate or terminate).

From travelweekly:
Tiger Airways has announced
two more routes from Avalon
with the carrier naming Perth
and Adelaide as the latest
destinations to be served from
its newest base.
It follows confirmation
earlier this week that the
Gold Coast would be served
from Avalon from
November 10.
Avalon to Adelaide will
also start from November 10
with f lights from Avalon to
Perth launching on
November 12.
Tickets go on sale today.
Prices start from $25 one
way to the South Australian
capital and from $95 to
Western Australia.
The expansion follows the
announcement earlier this
week that Tiger would double
the number of A320 aircraft
in Melbourne to 10, bringing
its total f leet in Australia
to 13.
Tiger Australia managing
director Crawford Rix said
“more and more Australians
are voting with their feet”
and flying with the carrier.
The Avalon to Adelaide
route will pitch Tiger directly
against Jetstar.

But JQ don't fly AVV-ADL anymore. unless I am missing the point of this quote. 2 years ago the moved to Tulla. For Adelaide they are really pitiching against Sharp Airlines who go ADL-AVV via Portland.

01 Dec 10, Wed TT 6272 AVV 06:05 hrs PER 07:10 hrs

thats ok if you want to get to the airport at 4.30am in the morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! then hope the thing is leaving on time as there is sweet nothing to do at AVV unlike MEL if the plane is hours late!!!!!!!

01 Dec 10, Wed TT 8243 AVV 12:30 hrs ADL 13:20 hrs

ok if you want to go in the middle of the day!!!!!!!

When both A320s are based in AVV they could end up a fair amount of flying from that airport. Would the ADL, OOL and PER use up 1 aircraft? For the 2nd it could be HBA, NTL and SYD. It will be interesting to see where it goes.
