Tiger Now Roaring Across Australia

Singapore Airlines budget offshoot Tiger Airways is defying world trends by continually expanding around the Australasian region, and this week all the news is in the land Down Under. And while it might be a bit exaggerated, it's not that far wrong to agree with Tiger when they say:

Before Tiger Airways came along, it was cheaper for travelers to go overseas than to get around their own country. It was a disgraceful situation but Tiger Airways' low fare revolution has changed that.

Tiger's just announced that they're starting regular Perth to Melbourne flights from October, with opening specials of A$99 ($90) for one-way flights including all taxes--less than half what other airlines would charge at their cheapest. Tiger's also decided to make the South Australian capital Adelaide into its second Aussie base and everyone's waiting to, uh, pounce on the new routes they'll start up there.
