Tiger Airways Australia have announced that they will re-commence flights between Melbourne and the Sunshine Coast. Tiger will start with four flights per week from March 27, increasing to daily from May 31.
Flights will operate on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. Flights will depart Melbourne at 08:10 in the morning on Mondays and Fridays and 09:05 on Wednesdays and Fridays, arriving into the Sunshine Coast at 10:25 and 11:20 respectively. The return service will depart the Sunshine Coast at 10:55 on Mondays and Fridays and 11:50 on Wednesdays and Sundays, arriving back into Melbourne at 13:20 and 14:15 respectively.
When flights increase to daily from May 31, all flights will depart Melbourne at 09:05 except the Saturday service which will depart Melbourne at 08:10.
Tiger Airways first commenced flight to the Sunshine Coast back on 1 December 2007 with three flights per week from Melbourne. The number of flights grew to daily and on 27 March 2011, the number of Tiger Airways flights to the Sunshine Coast doubled with the addition of a daily service from Sydney. Not long after the launch of this new route it was announced it would be cancelled from 1 August 2011 to simplify there Australian operations. However the flights finished a month earlier on 1 July 2011 due to the grounding of Tiger Airways Australia which also claimed the daily service from Melbourne.
Now with Tiger's Australian operations almost back to normal, the Sunshine Coast will be getting Tiger back. In addition to this route, Tiger will double flights to Cairns with a new daily service from Sydney. The low cost carrier will also return to Alice Springs with four flights per week from both Sydney and Melbourne.
