Tiger Airways to major airports: Won’t sacrifice low-cost model

In a report from The Australian, Tiger Airways’ Chief Executive Tony Davis has told chief airport operators that the airline will not fly at airports that do not fit their low-cost model.
The announcement was made following Tiger Airways’ decision to fly from Newcastle and returned its Sydney landing slots for the northern winter timetable.
"We're absolute purists when it comes to the low-cost model, and that means that if there are airports that we can't make work then we won't serve them," Mr Davis said.
The airway now flies to twelve Australian destinations, including recently adding Newcastle, Canberra and Hobart to its list, with one way promotional fares of $9.95 tax-inclusive.
The airline will also commence its first flight to India and fifth flight to China.
