Tiger Airways eyes Tasman route & set up a pilot training scheme
He who has the deepest pockets wins. Competition is competition only to a point and whoever can sustain a price war the longest wins. I'm sure all lcc's and legacy carriers also look at how trans Tasman services can feed their other international routes from major hubs as well.

A logical reason for digging up this thread is to see if anyone in the room has heard some really big rumors about Tiger. Well I haven't, but I wouldn't give odds on the alternative possibilities of closure or a completely new route structure taking in Sydney and Brisbane which others claimed could happen in another thread. Someone here suggested yesterday that Adelaide wasn't going to happen. I think Tiger is stuffed.

You dont need to be inside the Aviation industry to figure out that Adelaide wont strive, especially with those routes they have announced.. Adelaide-Sydney/Brisbane/Cairns is the only way I can see it as making money apart from the Alice and Perth. Goodbye to Canberra and Hobart before Easter from me, no goldmine here
Just what do Tiger management see in Adelaide.
...and DUD will start receiving more attention (domestic and quite possibly international) in the very near future, so if Tiger has considered it then they might need to reconsider in a month or 2.

You have to be kidding. They are shrinking domestically, so they decide to take on Qanats, Jet*, Virgin, Emirates, ANZ on would have to be one of the toughest markets in the region. Keep stirring the pot boys. I like it!
