NEW BRISBANE TIGER ROUTE GOOD NEWS
FOR ADELAIDE TRAVELLERS
Adelaide Airport Ltd Managing Director Phil Baker has welcomed Tiger Airways announcement
that it will fly daily to Brisbane from March 2009, and would double the number of its flights to
and from Melbourne.
SA travellers will have more flights to choose from to major Australian destinations with Tigers
announcement of the Brisbane route and additional Melbourne services out of its Adelaide
base, Mr Baker said.
Adelaide Airports business continues to grow, and attracting new services to major domestic
destinations is clearly good news for travellers to and from South Australia, as well as our
tourism and convention industries.
The extra flights coincide with Tiger basing a third aircraft at Adelaide Airport and will see the
creation of another 30 aviation-related jobs. Adelaide Airport is South Australias largest single
site employment precinct, with more than 5,200 people working within the airport precinct.
In addition to the new Brisbane and Melbourne flights, Tiger also flies to Sydney, Gold Coast,
Alice Springs, Canberra and Hobart.
