TIGER Airways will fly from Adelaide to Hobart, the Gold Coast, Perth and Alice Springs, from March next year after setting up a base in South Australia.
The company said today the services would be in addition those previously announced between Adelaide and Melbourne.
The airline will fly from Adelaide to Hobart four times a week, to the Gold Coast and Perth daily and to Alice Springs three times each week.
Prices will range from $49.95 to $99.95.
Tiger Airways Australia managing director Shelley Roberts said the new routes from Adelaide were decided by an Australia-wide poll and she thanked those who took part to help determine the cities the airline would service.
"By voting they have ensured that Tiger Airways gives our customers the route network they want," Ms Roberts said.
Tiger Airways planned to initially base two of its new A319 Airbus planes in Adelaide and was currently recruiting pilots, cabin crew and support staff.
"Traditionally many of the people of South Australia who have wanted to join an airline as a flight attendant have had to pursue their career interstate due to limited opportunities," Ms Roberts said.
"This is such an exciting opportunity for some enthusiastic and energetic people to spread their wings and join our team without having to leave home." |
