Tigerair brings cheaper seats bewteen Melbourne to Canberra

Tigerair Australia will bring over 2500 additional visitor seats every week between Melbourne and Canberra with the announcement of the new route providing daily return services between the two airports.

Details of the service, including schedules, will be announced soon with fares on sale later this week on the Tigerair Australia website www.tigerair.com.au.

Tigerair Australia CEO Rob Sharp says this is great news for consumers, tourism and the economy as Tigerair continues to respond to consumer demand and, at the same time, deliver a great value low cost offering for Canberra.

“We have witnessed overwhelming demand and are proud to provide the only low cost services between Canberra and Melbourne.  We are confident the new route will prove popular for our core market of budget and leisure travellers.”

ACT Chief Minister, Andrew Barr, said the announcement of new daily services between Canberra and Melbourne would be a significant boost to the ACT economy, expected to generate $17 million a year in the Gross Regional Product of the Canberra catchment and, importantly, create an additional 124 jobs.

“This is such an exciting time for aviation in Canberra. International flights will start for the first time next month and we can now add this low cost link to Melbourne that Canberrans have been crying out for,” Barr said.

Capital Airport Group’s managing director, Stephen Byron, said Tigerair’s new service represented a tremendous new opportunity and choice for the people of Canberra and Melbourne.

“Canberrans are great travellers – and the Tigerair service will provide 2,500 reasons every week to travel to Melbourne and home again. And it gives Melburnians the same opportunity to come to Canberra,” Byron said.
