Tiger Airways Schedules

[Debra Rettie]

Hi,

Can anyone make any sense of Tiger Airways Schedules. I had a look a few weeks ago regarding flights to Melbourne and say for the 11th of October Sydney-Melbourne it was only showing four flights, now its showing more than double that.

July 20, 2009: TIGER Airways will add flights to Sydney from Melbourne and Adelaide later this year when its seventh aircraft arrives.
The airline said today will double the number of daily flights offered between Melbourne and Sydney from four to nine return flights per day from October 4 and increase frequency on the Adelaide-Sydney route to two return flights per day.

The airline, which still has far fewer flights than its competitors, said it was taking advantage of decisions by other airlines to reduce flights and moves by travellers to save money.

There is no confirmation that CBR is canned. In fact Tiger management are (currently) saying the opposite. Then again, still nothing open for booking post early october.

Tiger Airways yet to confirm Canberra plans
BY LOUIS ANDREWS

TIGER Airways has denied a delay in revealing flight scheduling signals the death of services to and from Canberra.
No flights from Canberra are listed on the budget airline's website beyond October 3.

The Sunday Canberra Times understands the airline was expected to have uploaded its schedule by the end of May or early June.

Competitors Virgin Blue and Qantas have already unveiled schedules covering flights through to the middle of 2010.

Airline spokeswoman Vanessa Regan denied rumours the Canberra services would be canned after October 3, and said the company was preparing the schedule beyond that date.

She was unable to explain the delay, other than to say a new aircraft was due to join the fleet.

It seems that you cannot book from October onwards the PER - MEL or PER - ADL route?
