Tigerair considers additional Canberra flights
The success of Tigerair's Canberra-Melbourne flights has encouraged the airline to consider additional services to other destinations. Tigerair commercial director Adam Rowe said the flights, which resumed in December, had been well supported. The latest govt data shows an 11.1% increase in passengers on the Canberra-Melbourne route in Dec 2016, with Tigerair only operating for part of the month. There were 87,600 trips made on the sector in Dec 2016, compared with 78,900 in the same month a year before, elevating it to the 15th busiest in Australia. Tigerair has won market share with its cheap fares and improved reliability. Rowe said Tigerair was "very pleased" with patronage on the Melbourne-Canberra service. "The acceptance of the low-cost product back into the market is absolutely phenomenal," he said. <br/>
