Gold Coast (ANTARA News/Asia Pulse) - The Singapore-based budget carrier Tiger Airways has sparked an all-out airfare war in Australia's domestic market, by announcing a new range of cut-price fares.
Tiger Airways chief executive Tony Davis said the carrier had invested in Australia for the "long haul" and promised consistent, cheap fares for consumers in the face of competition from Jetstar and Virgin.
A subsidiary of international carrier Singapore Airlines, Tiger Airways announced today direct routes from Melbourne to the Gold Coast, Rockhampton and Mackay, starting on November 23. A one-way ticket from Melbourne to the Gold Coast will cost $A49.95 ($US42.79), with the other routes costing $59.95.
