|We know that many Australians have been inconvenienced these past few weeks, and for that we apologise. We're sorry. |
| |
|But we're also listening: listening very hard to what you want from us. Our mission is to be a safe, reliable airline that enables |
|ALL Australians to go the places they want to go at a price they can afford to pay. |
| |
|Since we haven't been flying, our competitors have raised their fares by more than 30%*^; we don't think that’s fair. It's a big |
|country, and we believe that every Australian should be able to travel for a reasonable price. |
| |
|So while we're always looking for ways to improve, one thing will never change: our absolute commitment to ensuring all Australians |
|can go to the places they want safely, affordably and reliably. |
| |
|Thanks for your support, |
| |
|The entire Tiger Airways team |
