More turbulence for Tiger Airways

Tuesday, 05 Aug, 2011 0

The grounding of Tiger Airways has been extended after the airline failed to comply with the safety investigator’s request for documentation.

The Civil Aviation Safety Authority says its investigation cannot be completed until Tiger provides the correct safety material.

The initial grounding over safety concerns was set to expire this week, but CASA says the company should not expect to be back in the air anytime soon.

”Progress on this matter relies on Tiger providing the correct and accurate documentation to CASA,” said a spokesman for the authority.

The company admitted in a presentation from Singapore that its grounding was costing it $S2 million a week.

Tiger has reported a net $20.6 million first quarter loss on its international operations to the Singapore stock exchange, while the company says its Australian operations are tracking towards a net loss for the full financial year.
