Tiger Airways has announced four weekly return services
to Alice Springs from Melbourne and Sydney, commencing 9th April 2013, once
again opening up Australia's iconic Red Centre to low cost carrier passengers.
Tiger Airways Australia Commercial Director, Carly Brear,
says the news is exciting for the consumer, local economies and the
airline. "I am particularly
thrilled to tell the people of Alice Springs we have listened. We've been
inundated with requests for Tiger's low cost flights to serve Central Australia,
a community that currently lacks low cost options and critically, is so heavily
reliant on tourism."
Alice Springs Airport has worked closely with Tourism
Minister Matt Conlan and Tourism CEO Tony Mayell in recent months to ensure a
collaborative approach to securing additional capacity to Alice Springs.
Tiger Airways' new services to Alice Springs are
conveniently timed to suit leisure, business and conference travellers as well
as the local community. Sydney flights depart at 6:40am, arriving in Alice
Springs at 10:00am and Melbourne
flights depart at 9:00am, arriving in Alice Springs at
12:20pm.
The two new routes from Melbourne and Sydney represent an
additional 150,000 seats to the Alice Springs market.

"150,000 additional seats into Alice Springs really
supplements our appeal as a Business Tourism destination. Having the flexibility
of Tiger's terrific low cost carrier service to now complement Qantas'
existing, comprehensive route network makes us even more accommodating and
accessible." said Kylie.
