Tiger Airways Australia destinations

Tiger Airways Australia is a ultra low-cost airline based in Melbourne, Australia. As of November 2011, it operates to 5 destinations in 4 states across Australia[1]. Tiger Airways Australia has operated flights to 17 destinations in Australia, but majority of these destinations were discontinued after the grounding of the airline's entire fleet by CASA in July 2011.

The airline has its main base at Melbourne Airport, while a second base was opened in Adelaide Airport on March 2009[2]. Tiger Airways operations in Adelaide were shutdown in August 2011 due to commercial reasons [3] . Sydney Airport was opened as a smaller "virtual base" on 29 October 2009[4].
