JUST IN: The number of Tigerair flights is being slashed dramatically
It's due to COVID-19.
The number of domestic Tigerair flights will be slashed, as Virgin Australia struggles to cut costs.
It follows a statutory net loss of $97 million for the second half of 2019, compared to $55 million for the same time the year prior.
The airline is dumping routes it's found to be unprofitable, as it grapples with a market that's been badly hurt by the coronavirus outbreak.
Virgin chief executive Paul Scurrah says COVID-19 has had a "significant effect" on the travel industry.
Seven A320 aircrafts will also be removed from its fleet by October, bringing the number to eight.
