Adelaide Airport authorities will meet budget airline Tiger Airways about flights into Adelaide and the possibility of setting up its Australian base here.

The low-cost airline, which already operates between Asia and Darwin, wants to extend its reach in Australia's domestic market.

The Singapore-based airline has already caused a stir by suggesting it could sell some seats for as low as AU$10 plus fees and taxes.

Tiger Airways has set up a poll on its website, asking Australians where they want it to fly, including smaller destinations.

Adelaide Airport Limited's (AAL) management are speaking to the State Government of South Australia about a joint approach to attract the airline.

AAL Managing Director, Phil Baker, said the airport was very keen on getting another carrier into Adelaide for flights and possibly as a base.

A South Australian Government spokeswoman said it was yet to be approached by Tiger Airways about setting up a base here. Tiger Airways has said it could create up to 1000 new direct and indirect jobs once it is established in Australia.

Opposition tourism spokesman Michael Pengilly said the South Australian Government should act swiftly to get Tiger Airways to base its Australian operations here. Melbourne Airport has had preliminary discussions with Tiger Airways chief executive Tony Davis.
