TGW was started with only 4 a/c and a certain number of people. With the expansion to 10 a/c
10 aircraft ? What expansion ?

Take a look at this article from 2007 where Davis mentions the potential for 70 aircraft to be deployed in Australia

Tiger takeoff all set | The Australian

It has the potential to grow its fleet to 70 aircraft capable of being deployed either in Australia or across its Asian network.
From 4 to 10 aircraft over 4 years is nowhere near 70 I think

traveling public has provided the amazing load factors
Then why have Tiger cancelled so many routes and pulled out of so many destinations ?

Look at all these routes that have been scrapped recently :
Adelaide - Sydney
Adeliade - Geelong (Avalon)
Adeliade - Hobart

Read more here :

Tiger to review Adelaide workforce as it announces end to Sydney service | Adelaide Now

It announced that in addition to several cancelled routes out of Melbourne announced in early June, the airline would suspend the Adelaide to Sydney route from early August.


Amazing load factors hey ?

Amazingly empty I think

Infact they are moving to bigger offices from rumour
We have all heard this before
