Growing Tiger Airways’ planes to be groomed in Melbourne
Tiger Airways has signed a contract with Melbourne based John Holland Aviation Services to expand its current engineering support arrangements to also include major heavy maintenance ‘C’ Checks of Tiger Airways’ Australian based Airbus aircraft.
Shelley Roberts, Managing Director of Tiger Airways Australia, said “Tiger Airways could be doing this major maintenance anywhere in the world, but John Holland Aviation Services has both the facilities and top notch people here in Victoria to ensure a first class job, at a competitive price.”
“This means that Tiger Airways can continue to provide our passengers not only the lowest fares in the country but also ensure that Tiger Airways maintains its position as Australia’s most reliable airline.â€
Tiger Airways is leading the pack in Australian aviation for consistent reliability with not a single cancellation and excellent punctuality in both April and May.”
“In June bad weather caused the cancellation of just 2 Tiger Airways flights, whilst our competitors cancelled thousands of flights in the same three month period.”
“John Holland Aviation Services has already demonstrated its reliability and excellence in engineering services through the routine daily maintenance of our Melbourne based aircraft and they have shown that they have what it takes to work successfully with Australia’s only true low fare airline†Shelley Roberts added.”
In addition, Tiger Airways is pleased to announce that it is commencing recruitment of over 60 additional pilot and cabin crew positions to operate additional brand new aircraft arriving later this summer. These additional jobs at Tiger Airways come at a time when other airlines are slashing jobs and when Melbourne Airport has achieved record increases in passenger numbers driven largely by the entry of Tiger Airways into the Australian market.
“The Victorian Government has shown tremendous vision in attracting Australia’s only true low fare airline to Melbourne.” “Not only does the community reap the benefits of more highly skilled aviation jobs but also these passenger numbers released by Melbourne airport show that the government’s strategy for tourism is also working.” “Other governments across Australia and the world could learn a lot from the Victorian government.†Shelley Roberts said.
