Reported in todays NT News.
DARWIN is in the running to become the second hub in Australia for Tiger Airways to base its expanding fleet.
The low-cost airline announced yesterday that huge demand from the Australian public in its first week of operations prompted the search for a second hub.
Tiger bases its Australian operations in Melbourne but is now on the hunt for an additional base to house up to five aircraft permanently.
The move would also require crews and ground support to service and maintain the aircraft.
Spokesman Matt Hobbs said Darwin would be considered because of its established links to the airline.
"Any destination that is already a part of Tiger's route network will be considered."
