Tiger trying to be smart asses again and the ACCC jumped on them again
Corrective Notice
On 10 August 2011 Tiger Airways issued ‘An open letter to all Australians from the Tiger Airways team’. This letter included the statement ‘Since we haven’t been flying, our competitors have raised their fares by more than 30%’.
Following an investigation by the Australia Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), Tiger Airways acknowledges that it did not have a proper basis for which to make this statement and as such it may have contravened the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (CCA) by making a false or misleading representation.
Tiger Airways would like to retract this statement and apologises for its conduct.
