old Tiger news in 2011 ...

 

Tiger grounded over 'serious' safety concerns

 

 

CASA moved to suspend the budget airline's services after an incident on Thursday night when a Tiger Airways Airbus A320 flew into Avalon Airport, south-west of Melbourne, below the lowest safe altitude.

 

It is the second time in a month that Tiger has flown below the safety standard.

 

And in March, Tiger was issued with a show-cause notice over pilot training and maintenance procedures.

 

CASA says it is the first time it has grounded an airline.

 

"We've been working with the airline to deal with those issues, but we're not satisfied that they've satisfactorily done that," CASA spokesman Peter Gibson said.

 

"It's all added together to end up in a situation where the Civil Aviation Safety Authority has said, 'look, we don't have confidence in the ability of Tiger to continue to manage the safety of their operations'.

 

"Tiger has not been able to, at this stage, convince us that they can continue operations safely, so that's why they're on the ground.

 

"We believe this is symptomatic of problems within the airline [and] we've put them on the ground while we consider all these issues."

 

Mr Gibson says the authority is also considering whether or not it needs to go to the Federal Court to extend the grounding.

Won't be taking scoot in the future. I've taken them to Perth, Taipei and this time to BKK.

Perth return delay - 3 hrs

Taipei return delay - 30mins (which is quite negligble)

BKK return delay - 2 hrs

 

Not really worth the savings so far.

With young ones in tow, always better to take a proper full service airline w food, drinks, entertainment and recourse for service lapses

 

Not worth to save that few bucks especially if one seldom flies
