Are they not just essentially picking up the Tiger market share? Tiger had 9 flights a day ML-SY and
so does Rex.
I’m not sure who they are targeting here but it won’t be big corps. Won’t be pulling anybody away from those four flights every hour from the Virgin terminal.
I think they are targeting Grandma Betty who is travelling down to Melbourne to mind the grandkids, who refuses to fly Budget Airways. The Euro travellers will still fly Jetstar even if its $2 cheaper.
This is they issue Tiger was having with a flight every few hours. Only need to peek inside the gate area to see the target traveller. Chinese Tourist, Euro Travellers, Penrith/Wyndham residents, or Mum and Dad with ten kids under 5.
