Tiger Airways Australia’s new service between Sydney and Cairns touched down at Cairns airport today.
The current four-weekly return services between Sydney and Cairns will increase to a daily return service by June 2013, delivering up to 2520 additional seats through Cairns Airport weekly.
Tourism Tropical North Queensland chief executive Rob Giason said: "Sydney is a market we need to stimulate. Increasing airline capacity is the only way the Cairns region can increase visitors from markets like Sydney because people fly rather than drive those distances."
Tiger Airways next week (April 9) launches new services to Alice Springs from both Sydney and Melbourne.
