TT's next A320 due ADL today

[J Brown]

G'day all,

TT's next A320 and 1st bird to be based in ADL, VH-VNH, was sked to depart SIN for ADL at 0300LT. She arrived in SIN a couple of days back ex- TLS and MCT.

[Mark Howarth]

Is this Number 4 or 5?

Cheers
Mark

[Robert Zweck]

Should be No. 5.

This story is being publicised on Radio 5AA this morning, the aircraft is due here this afternoon. ( Thursday )

They start new routes out of Adelaide in March...

To Hobart, Alice Springs, Gold Coast, etc.

No doubt it is early, late or cancelled, in keeping with the Tiger ethos.

Arrived MEL at approx 4:45pm, parked outside the John Holland Hangars.

Will it be put into service or hang around John Holland till the new ADL services start?

I think are are also extra ADL-MEL frequencies (eventually up to 6 daily) in addition to the new ex-ADL routes, so maybe this aircraft will begin on ADL-MEL?

Saw a segment on the news this morning re: South Australian tourism and attempts to revive it. The clip showed a Tiger aircraft and a quote stating that Tiger confirmed they are Adelaide for the long haul.

Obviously they see profitable trade possibly this financial year.

6Daily is scrapped, and down to a maximum of 3Daily. Loads are dismal on this route, especially during the week! At least you get a couple of rows to yourself.
