    Tigerair brand closed by parent company Virgin Australia Holdings.

    05th August 2020,

    Virgin Australia’s new owners Bain Capital have announced they are resting the Tigerair brand, leaving just one low-cost airline in the country.

    In an announcement to shareholders this morning, Virgin Australia said its budget offering would be sidelined until there were enough customers to warrant reviving it.
    “The Tigerair brand will be discontinued in the market as there is not sufficient customer demand to support two brands at this time,” the announcement read.
