New Sydney – Sunshine Coast Route Helping Queensland Shine In Time of Need!

Tiger Airways today announces another new service to Queensland, boosting the State’s tourism in their time of need with the new Sydney – Sunshine Coast daily return service on sale from today.

To celebrate the new route, Tiger Airways is offering a special introductory airfare from just $38.95* each way, for travel from 27 March 2011 – 29 October 2011.

Tiger Airways’ Australian Managing Director Crawford Rix said the addition of the Sydney – Sunshine Coast route is “just the ticket for Queensland tourism” ahead of the commencement of flights on the new Sydney – Brisbane route which launches on 7 February 2011.

“Today’s announcement symbolises a great offer for Sydney-siders keen for a sunshine getaway and in return Tiger Airways hopes that the Sunshine Coast community will reap the benefits of increased tourism visiting their back yard – and of course new opportunities to travel to Sydney for less than ever before with Tiger’s famous low fares.

“As Australia’s only true low fare airline, Tiger Airways provides consistently the lowest airfares – liberating people to fly and stimulating the air travel market.”

Sunshine Coast Mayor Bob Abbot said this is a welcomed initiative by Tiger Airways and confirms their ongoing commitment to the Sunshine Coast.

“This announcement is a fantastic shot in the arm for our tourism industry after what has been a tumultuous start to the year for the Sunshine Coast and Queensland,” Cr Abbot said.

“Whilst the Sunshine Coast region was largely unaffected by the recent floods and dodged the damage of some of our neighboring regions, our Tourism industry has still been hit hard.

“This new service will go some way to restoring confidence back into the industry and with 130,000 additional seats available on this route the new Tiger service will help welcome back visitors to our region”.
