Poor demand
From abc news:
Vanessa Regan from Tiger Airways says there was not enough demand for the flights. But she says Tiger is not pulling out of Darwin completely. "This is kind of common business practice for all airlines at the moment," she said. "I think you'll find a number of airlines are adapting their schedule for that period." Ms Regan says all passengers who made bookings during the affected period will be offered a full refund. She says she hopes Territorians will understand Tiger's decision. "It is a commercial reality that we do operate on the most profitable routes. "So we don't go into a market with the intention to pull out and suspend. "We want to continue, we want to ramp up services. "So, it is based on demand, we have to have full planes to continue to offer such low fares." Tiger Airways pulled out of Darwin in October 2008 and only returned in June. Meanwhile, Jetstar has launched a new service between Darwin and the Philippines. Flights to Manilla will begin in February next year. |
Brisbane announcement imminent from BMI Oz

2 Questions :
1) Is it true management imported a guy from the UK with zero Airbus time to take over from KB ? 2) If the above is true, how the HELL does that fly with immigration, with plenty of qualified Aussies available ( inc people inside Tiger Oz ) The fur must really be flying at Tiger :ouch: |
KB has moved on? When did that happen? (I've been out of the TT news loop for a while)
|
To my knowledge KB still there, which makes the whole thing even more interesting.............

"I am zee Grand Chancellor Captain and yoooou are nuting but da filty, stoopid FO, you vill not touch anyyyyting! Your only job is to bathe in mine glory! Zig Yeeaaa! Zig Yeeaaa! Du bist der Dreck unter meinen lange Stiefel! It's enough to make you jump off a very little... cliff :} |
1) Is it true management imported a guy from the UK with zero Airbus time to take over from KB ? Oh and it wasn't "management" it was the managing director saving one of his friends from the sinking ship that is BMI baby. Got a feeling there will be plenty more of that happening. :hmm: |
Affirm but I take it they were set straight by CASA i.e the CP actually needs to be qualified (type rating, check and training/flight examiner) and therefore, obviously experienced on type. |
Good luck with the industrial action....

Anyone know if VNJ is getting a engine change after last nights emergency return?
|
Word on the street is that the Tiger pilots ain't going to put up with the old "drag the EBA out trick".
Oldest trick in the book. |
Anyone who thought the previous MD of TT was a little behind the ball will be amazed at the level of apparent incompetence of the imports.
This is a company that believes that endless disdain towards its staff and its customers is ok. That type of attitude went out with the ark. This is a seriously under resourced and under equipped outfit in need of a kick in the goolies by the regulator. :sad: |
Anyone know if VNJ is getting a engine change after last nights emergency return? Surprised it hasn't made the media actually! Qantas blow a tyre on landing, front page news, Tiger suffer an engine failure after take-off... Nothing! |
So are they hiring experienced f/o jet drivers?
|
They constantly have people applying and have built up a bit of a holding pool from what i've been told.. With a couple of new aircraft coming at the start of the year, upgrades and (surely) more aircraft later in the year they will be looking for plenty of F/O's..
|
They constantly have people applying They constantly have people leaving.:O |
Revisiting this one .... has DF moved on?
|
