Tiger hunts Asia, wants fleet of four to be 30

TIGER Airways Australia will lobby the Federal Government to allow it to fly internationally, with its sights set on Malaysia.

Speaking at the Asia Pacific Aviation Summit in Sydney, Tiger's new managing director, Shelley Roberts, said she would make representations to the Federal Government as part of its white paper on aviation policy.

When they become Australian owned OR Australia renegotiates its bilaterals.. maybe.

until then.

While Tiger's international group flies in and out of Perth and Darwin, Commonwealth legislation states that domestic carriers must have majority Australian ownership to fly internationally.

Haven't they stopped international flights DRW-SIN? Are there any Tiger Australian flights remaining that go to DRW?

Now they want to target Malaysia. Where would the proposed departure be from Australia? OOL? Do they now want to compete with Air Asia?
