HAHAHA Tiger was grounded because Australia will only allow two airlines.. Ansett was also grounded for political reasons. HMMM why was QF not grounded, oxy bottle through side of 747, crashed in Thailand, 767 air returns hydraulic and engine failures, multiple 747 engine explosions out of LAX, A380 with a river of water running down the pax isle ? The list at the time goes on and on ?
1) Ansett was grounded so QF and government could stop SQ and get market share.
2) Tiger was grounded for eating into QF revenue and being owned by SQ and thus merged into Virgin as their low cost carrier. See back to two airlines weak Virgin and QF, If Virgin became bigger they would also be grounded by CASA.......
See as I say Remote socialist Island in Southwest Pacific.
As long as Alliance and others fly for the only two airlines in Australia they will be allowed to stay. So behave and be quiet or "they will get you ".
Bye Bye for now.
