Qantas owns jetstar and they created it. While virginblue is expanding its business that now they have created V australia.
Why dont a company creates a stand alone airline ? Is tigerairways a solo company or is it part of qantas and virgin ? Actually tiger airways will commince later in the year.
Tiger Airways is not part of Qantas or Virgin. However, it's not really a solo company too, being mainly owned by the Singaporean holding company. Singapore Airlines is the main shareholder of that company.
The aircraft are very new and the airline operates very much a low cost model. In Melbourne, they have a separate terminal and I was pleasantly surprised with the timeliness and smoothness of the flight I took with them given that they are much cheaper than the competition.
