Snippet from the newsdesk: Tiger Airways has doubled their frequency on their Sydney – Melbourne route to 9 times daily, up from the initial 4 flights a day in each direction. Tiger also plan to double their Sydney – Adelaide frequency from daily to twice-daily. From TravelToday:

Roberts said the carrier had gained extra slots due to other airlines cutting services. With a new A320 also in operation, Roberts said Tiger was able to expand its presence on the trunk route.

First of all, who died? Who cut back services on the world’s third-busiest route, thus giving Tiger these extra slots?

Update (21/07/09): VirginBlue cut frequency earlier in the year, thus the extra Tiger slots.

Flights still start from $39 and are in plentiful supply, so visit Adioso to find a cheap fare.
