Tiger Airways Australia was a low-cost carrier that operated domestic routes within Australia, offering budget-conscious travelers affordable air travel options. It was a subsidiary of Tiger Airways Holdings, which was majority-owned by Singapore Airlines.
The airline launched operations in Australia in November 2007, initially flying from Melbourne Airport. It expanded its network to cover major Australian cities including Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, and the Gold Coast.
In 2014, Tiger Airways Australia was rebranded as Tigerair Australia following a merger of the Tiger Airways group brands. The airline was subsequently acquired by Virgin Australia in 2015 and continued operating under the Tigerair Australia name until it ceased operations in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with Virgin Australia entering voluntary administration shortly after.
