"The announcement by Tiger Airways Australia that it plans to commence flights from Melbourne to the Gold Coast, Mackay and Rockhampton is terrific news for Australian travellers and tourism operators according to Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Transport and Regional Services, Mark Vaile. The decision by Tiger Airways to commence flights to the region and link those with a shuttle service to Brisbane has reinforced Gold Coast Airport's reputation as a key global gateway for the movement of people and products to markets. Tiger's decision to fly to Mackay and Rockhampton similarly should provide tourism operators there with new opportunities."
