Tigerair Australia launching new Brisbane-Canberra route
Tigerair Australia has announced a new thrice weekly route linking Brisbane and Canberra.
The new route will kick off on September 14 and operate every Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday.
The budget carrier is also adding an extra weekly flight on Fridays on the existing Canberra-Melbourne route, beginning the following day.
This is a result of overwhelming customer demand, says CEO Rob Sharp.
"Canberrans have truly embraced Tigerair’s great value fares and friendly service. We have had a fantastic customer response to our Melbourne Canberra services since we launched them in December last year. Tigerair Australia will be providing close to 4,000 seats weekly through Canberra Airport or over 200,000 seats annually to the doorstep of the nation’s capital city."
Julieanne Alroe, Brisbane Airport Corporation CEO warmly welcomed the new route and hinted about future new flights.
"Since opening a permanent base at Brisbane Airport just three short years ago, Tigerair has gone from strength to strength.With Canberra added to its expanding network, it’s exciting that passengers now have access to Tigerair’s fantastic low fare flights between Brisbane and all state and territory capitals, with the exception of Hobart. Perhaps that’s next on the list, you never know," Alroe said.
